Where your changes your life. By BOB McCLURESEMINOLE There was a content expression on the face of Brian Lester. After more attempts than he could remember, the 54-year-old St. Petersburg runner accomplished a longtime goal April 6 when he captured the overall championship in the 20th annual Stampede 5K run at Walsingham Park. Lester, who competes as a grand master, broke from the field of 133 runners within the first mile and never looked back. He finished the 3.1-mile course in 17 minutes, 56 seconds 13 seconds in front of 27year-old Clayton Hofstra of Seminole. I usually win my age class, said Lester. But this is the first time to get first place overall. I wasnt proud of my time but I was happy to win. For Hofstra, a University of South Florida medical school grad, it was his last race before heading to South Carolina where he will complete his medical residency. He finished in 18:11 two seconds in front of third-place Charles Anstadt of Seminole. Fourth overall was 18-year-old Scott Scarpinato of Seminole (18:25), followed by 26-year-old Mathew Regan of Buffalo, N.Y. in 18:47. The overall female winner was Kiera Delaurier, 32, of St. Petersburg in 19:14, which was good for seventh overall. Anstadt was the male Grand Master division winner and Lisa McFadden, 42, of Seminole was the female Grand Master winner in 22:41.

The recognition signifies that Bay Pines VAHCS has reached an aggressive goal of treating heart failure patients according to the guidelines of care recommended by the American Heart Association/American College of Cardiology. Following the treatment guidelines can improve the quality of care for heart failure patients, save lives and ultimately, reduce healthcare costs by lowering the recurrence of heart attacks. Heart failure patients are started on aggressive risk-reduction therapies if needed, including cholesterol-lowering drugs, beta-blockers, ACE inhibitors, aspirin, diuretics and anticoagulants while in the hospital. Before discharge, patients also receive education on managing their heart failure and overall health, including lifestyle modifications and followup care. Hospitals must adhere to these measures at a set level for a designated period of time to be eligible for the achievement awards. Bay Pines is dedicated to making our care for heart failure patients among the best in the country. The American Heart Associations Get With The Guidelines Heart Failure program helps us to accomplish this goal, said Teresa Kumar, associate director for patient care and nursing services. According to the American Heart Association, about 5.7 million people suffer from heart failure. And each year, 670,000 new cases are diagnosed and more than 277,000 people will die of heart failure. However, many heart failure patients can lead a full, enjoyable life when their condition is managed with proper medications and devices and with healthy lifestyle changes. The Bay Pines VAHCS is one of the nations leading VA healthcare systems, employing more than 3,500 medical professionals and support staff dedicated to providing care to veterans residing in southwest Florida. The Bay Pines VA is accredited by The Joint Commission and the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities. The healthcare system is also a three-time winner of the Robert W. Carey Circle of Excellence Award, the VAs top honor for quality achievement. The healthcare system operates nine facilities to include the main medical center located in Bay Pines and outpatient clinics located in Bradenton, Cape Coral, Naples, Palm Harbor, Port Charlotte, Sarasota, St. Petersburg, and Sebring. Each year, Bay Pines treats nearly 100,000 veterans while providing a full range of high quality medical, psychiatric, and extended care services.

PARC, from page 1ASEMINOLE Mayor Leslie Waters has been selected as one of 14 American women to serve on the Womens Democracy Network Council, headquartered in Washington, D.C. and chaired by Cindy McCain, wife of Sen. John McCain. Over the years I have worked with Jordanian elected women city officials, with Bosnian women members of Parliament, Waters said. In Africa, I spoke from the floor of the Southern Sudan Parliament to women state and national legislators, facilitated campaign workshops for Egyptian women running for Parliament, and in Sri Lanka instructed women on how to effectively advocate their government. Waters is a former Florida legislator, president/founder of the Leslie Waters Government Consulting firm, and adjunct political science professor at Eckerd College. The Womens Democracy Network is an Initiative of the International Republican Institute. The Council is instrumental in supporting WDNs mission of empowering women around the world to greater activism and leadership in public life. By connecting women to resources and to their counterparts around the world, they will learn new skills to help build thriving communities for their families and lasting democracies for their people. The Network of women is currently active in 61 countries in every region of the world. It is an honor to be asked to continue to bring my own business, campaign, political, legislative, and civic experience to the WDN Council in an effort to educate and connect aspiring women leaders across the world on ways to enhance their democracies, Waters said. ST. PETE BEACH The Veterans of South Pinellas County plan its third annual Salute to the Military parade, street fair and charity pancake breakfast Friday and Saturday, April 12 and 13 in Pass-A-Grille. The parade, which begins Friday at 6 p.m., kicks off the two-day celebration organized to honor active U.S. military members and veterans. St. Pete Beach Mayor Steve McFarlin, will serve as the grand marshal of the parade and the Pinellas County Sheriff Bob Gualtieri will lead the event, which will pass through the streets of Pass-A-Grille. The parade will feature the Lakewood and Admiral Farragut high school marching bands. The four branches of the U.S. military, including the Florida National Guard plus the Coast Guard, will participate. Also participating will be the Tampa Bay Rays cheerleaders and Raymond, the team mascot, plus more than 50 patriotic and military vehicles driven by veterans and current military personnel. After the parade, the Army will host a ceremony and administer the oath of enlistment to recruits from the local area marking the start of their service to the nation. The street fair with military vehicles, weapons displays and family fun activities will be from 5 to 10 p.m. on Friday and 8 a.m. to noon Saturday. Back for a third year is the charity pancake breakfast on Saturday, hosted by The Hurricane Seafood Restaurant with chefs and support staff from the Hard Rock Caf handling the cooking.

They have typically spent hours poring over the records and images found online today, and most of us remember a period when that time was spent in front of a hooded microfilm reader. It was, and is, time well spent because of the wealth of information and hints for further research that the census provides. But did you know that when you are doing that research you are only looking at one of several documents produced during the taking of the census? The documents we generally look at are known as the population schedule. That is the part of the census that enumerates, or lists, the population of the country. But there were other schedules that were produced at the same time as the population schedule that have relatively recently been made easily available to us online. As a group, these are known as the non-population schedules. For instance if a person on the population schedule is found to be the owner or operator of a farm, then another document called the farm schedule was produced. And if the person on the population schedule was the owner of a manufacturing business, then a manufacturing schedule was completed. Each of those additional schedules went into sometimes excruciating detail about the assets and productivity of the individual farm or business. In the case of the agricultural census, for example, the number of farm animals by type were recorded (pigs, goats, chicken, horses, milch cows, etc.), the number of acres under cultivation and fallow, the acres of timberland, the production in bushels of oats and other grains, etc. The questions go on and on. Non-population schedules were not produced every census year, and some have not survived over time. The period from 1850 to 1880 saw a number of them, however. It is those that are accessible to us today. Some of the schedules actually do enumerate people, just as the familiar population schedules did, but they are special groups so I am including them in the category of non-population schedules for convenience. Those schedules include: slave schedule (1850-60), agricultural (1850-80), manufacturing (185080), mortality (1850-85), social statistics (1850-80), defective/dependent/delinquent (1880), veterans and widows (1890), and Indian (1885-1940). In earlier articles I have already discussed the special veterans census of 1890 and the mortality schedules. In future articles Ill cover some of the other schedules that I have listed. Until recently, accessing these schedules has been somewhat challenging because the National Archives had microfilmed only a few states records, and none were digitized to view online. Also some states records were retained in various repositories such as state archives or historical societies. But relatively recently, access has become easier as Ancestry.com has digitized them and made them available online. Remember that Ancestry is a subscription site, but you can access it for free at your local public library. Additionally, the free site FamilySearch.org also has some of the schedules digitized, but not nearly as many as Ancestry at this point. Even the Ancestry collection is not complete. It varies with the type of schedule you are interested in, but the states represented are basically the following: Alabama, California, Georgia, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Nebraska, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Texas, Virginia, and Washington. Note that I said availability really depends on the schedule you are interested in, so it never hurts to search the collection to see what hits you may get even if at first glance it might appear that your ancestor was not represented. It is also important to know that in general, data recorded on the non-population schedules covered one year exactly (the 365-day period preceding the effective date of the census). Also realize that the information collected on each schedule changed throughout the years. That means it is worth your time to look at the schedules over the span of census years if you have an ancestor who was recorded. In future articles I will cover in more detail some of the nonpopulation schedules, but they are there waiting for you if you want to get a head start on me.Peter Summers is an amateur genealogist who has been working on his family history since 1972. He is past president of the Pinellas Genealogy Society. Genealogy exposedPeter Summers Organization asks for Big Sisters LARGO Big Brothers Big Sisters of Pinellas County challenges women of the community to honor Womens History Month by helping little girls follow in their footsteps. Locally established in 1967, Big Brothers Big Sisters is the oldest, largest and most effective youth mentoring organization in the United States. The longevity of its existence speaks volumes to the power of mentoring.There are currently 51 girls in Pinellas, Citrus and Hernando counties waiting to be matched with a Big Sister. These girls often have an incarcerated parent, reside with a relative caregiver or live in a single-parent home. The presence of a positive female role model would impact their lives tremendously. Big Brothers Big Sisters has been the leader in one-to-one youth service for more than a century, developing positive relationships that have a direct and lasting impact on the lives of young people. Sometimes all a child needs is someone to talk too, a mentor to provide guidance and an encouraging influence to start them on the right path in life.

Should we parent our kids differently because of their birth order?My husband, the girls and I were driving to a wedding a few weeks ago, listening to the radio when well-known author and speaker, Dr. Kevin Leman came on talking about the birth order of kids in a family, explaining that where you are in the birth order often shapes you as a person. As we listened, we couldnt believe how what he was saying was so true. My husband and I are both firstborns, so we are very similar in a lot of ways. According to Dr. Leman, Clearly, firstborns are natural leaders. They also tend to be reliable, conscientious and perfectionists who dont like surprises. Although, firstborns are typically aggressive, many are also compliant people-pleasers. They are model children who have a strong need for approval from anyone in charge. Can you relate to this if you are a firstborn? How about your firstborn child? I know I can. I am a perfectionist and a people pleaser. My oldest daughter is too. Dr. Leman goes on to say how we parent, or how our parents raised us, is why we are how we are. I started thinking about how I treat my first child compared to my second. I do give her more responsibilities. I often say, Watch your little sister or Help your little sister. I know I had more responsibilities growing up, especially with three younger siblings. Dr. Leman says as parents we need to watch that we arent improvers to our firstborn, meaning we dont ask our child to do something and then improve what they have done. This makes them try to be even more of a perfectionist because they feel they didnt do what we want done the right way. And yes, I am guilty of that. I will straighten things up after I ask my daughter to straighten something up. Its my perfectionist personality. Now that I am aware, I am going to work on that. Its funny how being a parent the first time is different than even the second time around. A good example for my husband and I is our pacifier policy. When my oldest Randi Kay was born and she would drop her pacifier on the floor, we would rinse the pacifier in hot water and sterilize it before giving it back to her. With our second child, Graci, we didnt go to extremes to sterilize it. We would just rinse it with water and pop it back in her mouth. I see with my brother and sister-in-law who have four kids that there just isnt time to do all you did with the first baby as the fourth. There are three more kids to contend with. So, what does Dr. Leman say about the children after the firstborn? He says, Middle children often feel like their older brother gets all the glory while their younger sister escapes all discipline. Because the middle child feels that the world pays him less attention, he tends to be secretive; he does not openly share his thoughts or feelings. While lastborns may be charming, they also have the potential to be manipulative, spoiled or babied to the point of helplessness. The last child also loves the limelight. Now if you have an only child, Dr. Leman says they are like the firstborns, but they are even more responsible and even bigger perfectionists. I can see how my second daughter is very similar to what Dr. Leman says about the lastborn. She is a little babied. She is charming and wants to keep up with her older sister, but can be a little spoiled and manipulative to get what she wants. Just recently my older daughter told me my younger one gets away with more than her. I didnt realize I was letting her get away with more, but I started watching that. Dr. Leman says thats typical: Statistics show the lastborn is least likely to be disciplined and the least likely to have to toe the mark the way the older children did. You can be sure your older children are watching you closely! And they are. I remember telling my mom the same thing about my younger siblings. I do recall my parents discipline was different for each one of us. My mom and dad could just look at me sternly and I would cry. Now, for my brother and middle sister that was a different story. The birth order is definitely something to think about as we raise our children. I dont know how much we can change how the birth order affects our childrens personalities, but we can at least try to work on any negative effects the birth order can have.Kadi Hendricks Tubbs, mother of two girls ages 7 and 8, lives in Seminole.

However, there are some nice fish being caught in our area. The best locations thus far have been around the Skyway Bridge and the shipping channel. This area seems to be holding the most bait, so naturally that is were kingfish will be. Until we get that huge influx of threadfins off the beach we wont see the schools of Spanish mackerel and kingfish in our near-shore waters. But Spanish mackerel are schooling in good numbers around the Skyway pier area. Anglers casting silver spoons and Gotcha plugs are doing well throughout the day, with sunrise and sundown being peak times. Inshore, trout and redfish have both been cooperating well on these new moon tides. Target deep water flats directly adjacent to the extreme shallows on the low incoming tide, for a chance at both species. Spoil islands, no-motor zone flats and just about anywhere else that you can find clean, good moving water are potential hot spots. Casting top-water lures first thing in the morning will help you locate active fish. Flats fish are much more active now than a few weeks ago, making them much more likely to respond to the loud commotion put out by the top-water plug. Pompano are in for sure. Lots of pompano are being caught off the bridges and piers as well as deep dropoffs around spoil islands inside of the passes. Pompano feed best on fast moving tides and low light conditions. Traditional hot spots would be the Bayway Bridge, the Tierra Verde Bridge, and Pass-AGrille channel. Until next week, get bent!Tyson Wallerstein can be reached at capt.tyson@hotmail .com.

Fly-fishing official speaks at fundraiser LARGO Philip Greenlee, president of the International Federation of Fly Fishers spoke at the Suncoast Fly Fisherss 10th annual hog roast fundraising dinner March 23. Greenlee praised Suncoast Fly Fishers for programs teaching flyfishing and fly-tying to young anglers and Scouts as well as to recovering military veterans through the Project Healing Waters Fly Fishing program. He spoke of the importance of supporting the federations conservation goals and outlined its certification program for fly-casting instructors. Suncoast Fly Fishers held its fundraiser at the new Florida Gulf Coast Center for Fishing and Interactive Museum, a 33,000square-foot facility at 12211 Walsingham Road in Largo Before the dinner, Greenlee toured the center with founder and chief executive Jim Simons and Suncoast Fly Fishers President Thomas Gadacz. A major purpose of Greenlees visit was to see a newly designed wall-sized display of images and artwork celebrating saltwater fly-fishing, a project which the federation helped fund. The new Florida Gulf Coast fishing center actively supports fishing clubs in the St. Petersburg-Clearwater area and hosts summer youth fishing camps. Local artists decorate museum walls with historical fishing photos and artwork. More than 4,000 students will visit the center on field trips each school year. The center also hosts a pancake breakfast and open market on Saturday mornings. Suncoast Fly Fishers, with 145 active members, is one of Floridas largest fly-fishing clubs. Members meet for professional presentations, fly-tying and fly-casting sessions on the third Thursday of each month, except December, at Walter Fuller Recreation Center in St. Petersburg.

April is National Donate Life Month, and tax collector employees are participating in the annual Donate Life Challenge, a month-long effort among tax collectors and the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles to promote awareness of Floridas organ donor registry. I am honored that my offices can be part of an effort like this that helps save lives said Pinellas County Tax Collector Diane Nelson. We have been involved in the organ donor effort since we began issuing driver licenses in 2001, and 98 percent of Floridas donor registrations now occur through driver license transactions. Tax collector employees help register potential organ donors by asking all drivers license customers if they would like to join the registry. Last years Donate Life Challenge led to more than 66,000 new donor registrations throughout Florida. Floridas organ registry recently reached a milestone of 7 million registrants. It is the second largest state registry in the nation, which gives hope to families of patients like 10-year-old Hope Kienle, who received a liver transplant before she reached age 2. Although my husband and I were both registered organ donors, we didnt give much thought to organ donation until Hope was 64 days old, said Hopes mom, Amy Kienle. That was the day we found out she may need a liver transplant. We dont know much about Hopes organ donor, but we feel like they are part of our family. Their loved one saved our Hope. More than 4,500 Floridians currently await organ transplants, and more than 118,000 patients are on the nationwide list. How to register as an organ donor Florida offers four simple ways to register as an organ, tissue or eye donor: 1. On Donate Life Floridas website at www.DonateLifeFlorida.org. 2. When renewing your driver license online at www.GoRenew.com. 3. When obtaining a new or renewed driver license in an office. 4. By calling Donate Life Florida at 1-877-35-SHARE (1-877-3574273).Hazardous waste collection is April 13TARPON SPRINGS Get rid of household hazardous waste Saturday, April 13, 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., at Tarpon Springs High School, 1411 Gulf Road.

When this damage occurs, residents depend on insurance to help bring them back to normal. The problem is that many learn they have purchased insufficient coverage or failed to get the right kind of policies after the damage is done and when they need protection the most. Thats why hurricane pre-season is the perfect time to review insurance policies to ensure coverage is both adequate and comprehensive. Some very important points to consider include: Read that policy. Start on the declaration page. Thats where your name and address are and usually the limits covered. If you read nothing else after that, read the exclusions. And watch for any special endorsement that excludes wind coverage. Ask your agent to explain any questions you have. Soak up flood insurance. Since 1968, most homeowners or renters policies have not covered damage from flooding. That coverage is provided under the prevue of the National Flood Insurance Program at www.floodsmart.gov. Besides protecting from the obvious damage of rising drainage creeks, it also protects against storm surge. Another coverage is sewer backup from a flood. Even if your policy covers sewer backup, will most likely have an exclusion if the sewer backup is caused by flooding. All flood policies require 30 days from when they are ordered until they are ordered, which means buying flood insurance at the last minute wont work. If you are located in a Flood Hazard Area, you may need to get a flood elevation certificate which could take some time. If you are not, there is still the application process, which will take time. You may be surprised by how inexpensive flood insurance is, especially if you are not in a Flood Hazard Area. Wind is special. Hurricane or windstorm deductibles are not like the standard deductible on your policy. While there may be a smaller deductible for a fire or burglary loss, windstorm deductibles are typically a percentage of your homes value. This is done to help keep premiums low, but can add up to an expensive surprise when the time comes. A 5 percent deductible on a house valued at $200,000 can leave policy owners on the hook for the first $10,000 of repairs. Getting to code. After a hurricane, if a home is damaged beyond a certain amount, the new structure will need to be rebuilt to current Florida building codes. While this may not be a problem for a home after 2001, it could be a considerable expense for a home built before that year. Law and ordinance coverage helps bring even older homes up to current code should significant damage occur. Cars need comprehensive. Basic auto coverage is required on all vehicles operated in the state of Florida. While these policies offer minimal coverage for auto accidents, other hazards such as flooding, wind damage and the like are covered under a comprehensive auto insurance policy. Renters need coverage, too. A landlord or property owner will have insurance on the structure that is being rented, but renters need coverage as well to protect their personal belongings. As with regular homeowners policies, most renters insurance coverage does not cover flooding, so a separate flood insurance policy can make a difference in how quickly you can replace your possessions. Inventories are invaluable. While most homeowners can recall from memory the larger items in their homes, would they be able to catalog every item down to the smallest details? A quick home inventory done on a list or through photos or video can help tremendously after the disaster. A video or pictures on your tablet computer or smart phone will only take minutes. Capture what is on the walls, the fixtures and type of flooring as well as your personal property. Also, check with your agent to see if your insurance carrier offers replacement cost coverage on your contents. Otherwise, your structure may be covered to be rebuilt, but your contents may be depreciated by the insurance carrier. While insurance can replace items after the fact, it is not a substitute for taking steps to reduce a homes vulnerability to a hurricanes fury. Bracing garage doors, shuttering windows and stowing yard items before a storms winds are felt can mean the difference between minor damage and a total disaster. Also, your homeowner insurance cant protect people from injury due to flying debris. Discuss with your agent the most effective way to present a claim, should a disaster strike. If many homes are damaged, know how your carrier will find your home. If you must evacuate, take your insurance policy with you. Have the claims office phone number and your agents emergency contact information with you. Most importantly, your home and valuables are things. Your first priority is always to keep yourself and your family safe. Everything else can be replaced, you cant. For more information about how to prepare yourself and your family for hurricanes, visit www.pinellascounty.org/emergency to find your evacuation level, learn about storm dangers and discover how to create your own disaster plan.

Pinellas County is committed to transparent and accessible government, and this virtual state of the county message is part of an ongoing effort to share important information with you, Pinellas County citizens, on the important issues facing our community and to encourage your feedback, Welch said by way of an introduction. He then spent nearly 18 minutes talking about the work done by the commission in the first quarter of 2013. He also outlined some of the countys biggest challenges including the budget, public transportation and the high-cost of poverty. The last few years have been challenging for many in our community, including your county government, Welch said. However, Im pleased to report to you that despite the challenges weve faced, our opportunities for progress are even greater, and the state of Pinellas County is strong. Moving our community forward will require vision, more collaboration and a strategic holistic approach to building a stronger community. Welch provided an update on the strategic planning the commission has been working on for the past four years and progress toward improving delivery of core services. He highlighted some of the actions taken during the first quarter of 2013, including returning fluoride to the drinking water supply on March 1, approving Tampa Bays first countywide domestic partnership registry and a resolution of intent to place a referendum on the 2014 general election ballot for a penny sales tax to pay for public transportation improvements. Welch said voters would decide whether to eliminate the current property tax that pays for Pinellas Suncoast Transit Authority and replace it with a countywide penny sales tax. He said revenue from a sales tax would allow PSTA to dramatically improve our transportation system, including faster, more flexible, more frequent bus service, light rail service connecting Clearwater, St. Petersburg and the Gateway area, regional connections to Tampa and other destinations, and other projects that will improve mobility in our county. Welch then focused on the need for more collaboration between local governments and other county stakeholders to take on the more complex issues. He said an approach was needed that moves beyond the silos of government and community services to encompass everyone governments, nonprofits, businesses, neighborhoods, families, faith-based organizations and others to best serve the needs. In a time of reduced resources, working together beyond traditional boundaries of jurisdictions not only provides a larger pool of resources but also supports a more comprehensive set of solutions to longstanding and complex problems, which have a high cost to the entire community. Welch said the educational achievement gap, generational poverty, chronic unemployment, recidivism, substance abuse and poor health outcomes all have a tangible cost to the community. If we can lower those impacts through more effective services and prevention, we can lower the costs to the taxpayers, empower individuals and families to become financially independent and strengthen our community for the long term, he said. Welch said a good example of a collaborative approach is project Safe Harbor led by Sheriff Bob Gualtieri in partnership with the county, cities and local service providers. Safe Harbor is a homeless services project, which provides shelter for up to 400 homeless individuals, many of whom would otherwise be housed at the county jail at a much higher cost, Welch said. Welch then talked about the budget for fiscal year 2014, which begins Oct. 1. He outlined some of the hardships that came from six years of budget deficits. He said more than 1,700 jobs were cut and the general fund budget was reduced by 30 percent. In fact, the number of employees under the county administrator has been reduced by 35 percent and represents the same staffing level as it was 28 years ago in 1985. So, rest assured we are working leaner. We are working smarter. We have narrowed our services and we are doing more with less, Welch said. Still, there is a projected $12 million shortfall expected for 2014. Plans call for using the budget stabilization fund to make up the difference between projected revenues and expenses. Welch pointed out that the savings account money was one-time dollars and would not be available to help balance the budget in future years. Welch then turned his attention to what he described as one of the bright lights for our economy. Welch said, Even during the recession, Pinellas County tourism has set records for overnight visits and bed tax receipts as tourists continue to discover our world-class beaches, arts and sports venues and diverse cultural amenities. But even in this area of excellence, we must carefully invest our resources to ensure that our tourism economy continues to thrive. In 2012, more than 5.4 million tourists visited Pinellas County, producing an economic impact of more than $7 billion dollars. Welch explained that the 5 percent bed tax is charged to visitors who stay in our area hotels. Last year, the bed tax generated $28 million a record annual total. About 20 percent of the money goes to pay debt service on Tropicana Field the home of the Tampa Bay Rays. Now, as you may know, the Rays have requested a future site for a new ballpark and potentially may request continued county support, Welch said. While any new park is years away, the county has initiated a much-needed dialogue with the Rays and we look forward to a broader conversation and with the city of St. Petersburg and the community as a whole. The debt service for Tropicana Field will be paid in 2015, and Welch said there is a growing list of potential project funding requests from the aquarium project in Clearwater to an Olympic BMX and spring training facilities. The extra money may be needed to pay for beach nourishment as federal and state funding is reduced. The needs are many and the funding source is limited, Welch said. Like all of our investments, we must analyze the needs carefully and maximize the return on investment of bed tax dollars in the best long-term interest of our community. Welch encouraged Pinellas County citizens to get involved. He urged them to visit the countys website, www.pinellascounty.org, for information or to interact with officials. Whether you would like to weigh-in on our upcoming budget, or comment on what transportation improvements youd like to see, or simply share an idea for improving our community, your commission welcomes your thoughts and suggestions and we value your perspective, Welch said. The state of the county message is on PCC-TV at noon, 6:30 p.m. and 10:30 p.m. on weekdays; 12:30 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. on weekends. PCC-TV is available on Bright House Networks Channel 622, Verizon Channel 44 and Knology Channel 18. Tampa Bay Newspapers: All rights reserved www.tbnweekly.com

He has since filed another appeal with the United States 11th Circuit Court of Appeals, according to information from the Forgiveness Foundation. Larry Eugene Mann, 59, was found guilty March 19, 1981 of kidnapping and murdering a 10-yearold Palm Harbor girl. A judge sentenced him to death on March 21. Since that time, Mann has filed a series of appeals, and his sentence was overturned and reinstated twice. His execution date in 1986 was stayed. Gov. Rick Scott signed a second execution order March 1. Mann is scheduled to be executed by lethal injection at 6 p.m. April 10 at the Florida State Prison near Raiford. If his latest appeal proves unsuccessful, Manns execution will come 32 years and five months after he murdered Elisa Nelson on Nov. 4, 1980. According to arrest records, Elisa was riding her bicycle to school the day Mann kidnapped her. She was late due to a dentist appointment and carried a note from her mother explaining her absence. When she didnt show up for school, authorities began a search, which turned up her bicycle later the same day in a ditch about a mile away from the school. Searchers found Elisas body the next day in a nearby orange grove. Cause of death was a blow to the head by a cement-encased steel pipe found next to her body. There were no signs of molestation, according to the Medical Examiner. Records show that Mann attempted suicide the day he murdered Elisa. He reportedly told police who responded that he had done something stupid and needed help. Manns wife found the bloodstained note that Elisas mom had written to excuse her daughter from being late to school in her husbands truck Nov. 8, 1980. Law enforcement also found a bloodstain with Elisa and Manns blood types in the truck. Mann was arrested on Nov. 10, 1980. Larry Eugene Mann Visit www.TBNweekly.com Police beatStore clerk arrested for selling K-2ST. PETE BEACH Pinellas County Sheriffs detectives arrested a convenience store clerk April 2 after he sold K-2 spice items containing the chemical XLR-11 to an undercover narcotics detective. The arrest is the first of its kind for the Pinellas County Sheriffs Office under the Attorney Generals emergency order, which banned this chemical substance. Nadeem Malik, 40, of St. Pete Beach was arrested at the Sunshine Food and Gifts convenience store, 6880 Gulf Blvd. in St. Pete Beach. According to the sheriffs report, detectives received information that illegal substances were being sold at the St. Pete Beach convenience store. On Jan. 9 and 11, a clerk, identified as Malik, sold K-2/spice items to an undercover Pinellas County Narcotics detective. The substances were sent to the Medical Examiners Forensic Lab for analysis. The substances were determined to be a Schedule One controlled substance, specifically XLR11. On April 2, detectives returned to the store to arrest Malik. While in the store, Malik voluntarily surrendered four large freezer bags containing different types of potpourri items. The items were concealed behind the counter, inside a garbage can under a large garbage bag. During the interview, Malik told deputies that he sells the substances at the direction of the storeowner. Malik was arrested for two counts of sales and possession of a controlled substance and possession with intent to sell a controlled substance. He was booked into the Pinellas County Jail. He was released on $34,000 bond the same day. Among the items surrendered were 104 small canisters of the same K-2 spice purchased by the undercover detective; 29 additional canisters with a different date and with a disclaimer stating it complied with current legal guidelines; and 122 foil packages containing similar substances. The substances were sent to the lab for analysis. The approximate value of the items is $2,280. The investigation continues.Nineteen arrested at sobriety checkpointCLEARWATER Pinellas County Sheriffs Office and Clearwater Police Department conducted a sobriety checkpoint at Clearwater High School, 540 S. Hercules Ave., April 5-6. Nineteen people were arrested, 12 vehicles impounded and 27 citations were issued. Average intrusion time was 2 minutes, 21 seconds. Eight were arrested for driving under the influence, five for driving with a suspended or revoked drivers license, two for driving without a valid license and another for driving in violation of a drivers license restriction Several were charged with drug violations including one charge of possession of alprazolam, four for possession of marijuana, one for possession of vyvanse, one for drug possession without a prescription, one for possession of crystal meth and one for possession of drug paraphernalia. One person provided a false name to law enforcement, one refused to obey a lawful command and one person was arrested on a warrant for a probation violation. Deputies conduct a sobriety checkpoint once a month at various locations around Pinellas as part of a program to reduce DUI related injuries.

He further stated the detention deputies grabbed him by his feet, picked him up by his feet, held his feet against the wall and held him upside down on top of his head. An investigation was conducted into Nikolics allegations. Another deputy testified that he was able to see the sergeant in the holding cell the entire time; and that at no time did he witness the sergeant have any physical contact with Nikolic. He further testified he never saw the detention deputy physically approach Nikolic. A Pinellas County Jail nurse who examined Nikolic immediately after the alleged incident and two hours later also testified that she checked his head and ankles for injuries and found none. Deputies said following his release from jail, Nikolic went to a local hospital and attempted to have a doctor diagnose him with a concussion. The doctor found no evidence of a concussion. Through their investigation and the evidence found in this case, deputies determined that Nikolic lied in his testimony and falsely accused the detention deputies of battery. He was charged with one count of false report of a crime and one count of perjury in an official proceeding. He was released on $2,150 surety bond April 1.Teacher arrested for abuseCLEARWATER Clearwater Police arrested a teacher at Skycrest Elementary School on March 21 for child abuse, according to a Clearwater Police Facebook report. During the course of an investigation, Clearwater detectives determined that Melanie Fox, 44, of Clearwater allegedly abused two special needs students a 6-yearold girl and an 8-year-old boy. The allegations include kicking and pulling the girls hair, hitting her with a book and binding her hands with tape. The suspect is also facing charges for pushing the boy down and binding his hands with a rubber band. Fox was released from the Pinellas County Jail on $20,000 bond.Vehicles burglarizedCLEARWATER There were several vehicle burglaries on Narcissus Avenue, Lantana Avenue and Bay Esplanade on Clearwater Beach March 18, according to a Clearwater Police Facebook report. All of the vehicles were unlocked and items of opportunity were targeted, such as GPS devices and loose change. Though the police department is pursuing several viable suspects in these incidents, the department also reminds the public to always lock vehicles, take keys with them and secure their belongings. If anyone has information regarding these incidents, contact the police anonymously by texting the tip to TIP411 or online at www.clearwatearpolice.com or on the submit-atip tab at www.facebook.com/clear waterpolice.Witnesses help lead to arrestsCLEARWATER Witnesses reports of suspicious activity has led to arrests, according to a Clearwater Police Facebook report. In the first case, a person reported two people leaving the rear of a closed business at 1343 Cleveland St. around 6:32 p.m. Officers responded and arrested David Velez, 22, of Clearwater and Jeanette Echevarria, 29, a Clearwater transient. According to police, they had forced the door open and entered the business. Velez was charged with criminal mischief and was released on his own recognizance. Echevarria was charged with burglary of an unoccupied structure and is being held at the Pinellas County Jail in lieu of $5,000 bond. In the second incident, two people contacted Clearwater police after seeing a man trying to open cars in the parking lot at 521 S. Gulfview Blvd. Officers found Dino Duratovic, 21, of Clearwater sitting in the drivers seat of the vehicle that he was burglarizing, the report said. When he saw officers, he allegedly discarded a bag of drugs. He was arrested and charged with burglary of an unoccupied conveyance, possession of a controlled substance MDMA, and violation of parole for possession of a controlled substance Xanax. He is being held at the Pinellas County Jail. Bond for the first two charges was set for $6,000. No bond was set for the violation of parole.Bicyclist injured on Belcher RoadLARGO Traffic Homicide Investigators from the Largo Police Department began investigating a bicycle crash at the intersection of Belcher and Ulmerton roads the morning of April 2. An adult male bicyclist was traveling westbound across Belcher Road at Ulmerton Road, headed toward the CVS, at around 7:59 a.m. On the north side of the intersection, he was struck by a Dodge Neon traveling southbound on Belcher Road, according to police. The bicyclist was seriously injured and flown to an area hospital. The single occupant of the Dodge Neon was not injured. The intersection of Belcher and Ulmerton roads was shut down for a couple of hours while police investigated the scene. Aprils checkpoint was dedicated to Steven Thillard. On October 10, 2006, the 23 year old was a passenger in a vehicle driven by 24-yearold Matthew Ferguson. Ferguson traveled into oncoming traffic in the area of Ridge Road and Eighth Avenue in Largo, causing a head on collision. Thillard suffered severe head trauma and had several brain surgeries as a result. Ferguson was impaired at the time of the accident.Man injured in fall from rooftopMADEIRA BEACH A Clearwater man was injured March 29 when he fell or jumped from the roof of a garage at Johns Pass in Madeira Beach. Pinellas County sheriffs deputies responded to a call just after midnight at 177 Boardwalk Place in Madeira Beach. According to deputies, Nicholas Voutsinas, 31, and a friend had climbed up to a restricted roof area of the parking garage (about seven stories high) to get a better view of the city. The friend decided to come down while Voutsinas remained. Deputies say by the time the friend reached the ground floor, Voutsinas was already laying in the roadway. The fall rendered Voutsinas unconscious. He was transported by air to Bayfront Medical Center for treatment of serious injuries. He sustained multiple fractures to his face, leg and pelvis and was in stable condition as of April 1. Deputies say Voutsinas had alcohol in his system. They said it was unclear whether he fell or jumped. The investigation continues.Former jail inmate arrested for perjuryCLEARWATER A former inmate of the Pinellas County Jail was arrested April 1 for perjury after he falsely claimed detention deputies had battered him. The suspect alleged the incident occurred at the Pinellas County Jail following his arrest for disorderly intoxication by the St. Petersburg Police Department on Oct. 7, 2012. According to investigators with the Sheriffs administrative investigation division, Chad Everett Nikolic, 31, of St. Petersburg provided a sworn, court reported statement to the Sheriffs AID Oct. 30, 2012, in which he alleged that after being handcuffed and shackled he was left to sit in a holding cell. He stated that a detention sergeant and deputy entered the cell and committed a battery against him. According to investigators, while under oath, Nikolic alleged that theMan arrested after shooting at police By JULIANA A. TORRESLARGO A Largo police officer and a 19-year-old man wanted for two robberies exchanged shots before the suspect ran away March 21. After an overnight search, Pinellas County Sheriffs deputies arrested Terry Lamar James of Clearwater around 10 a.m. March 22 in Pinellas Park. Largo police had a warrant for his arrest in reference to two recent home invasion robberies. At around 9:20 p.m. March 21, officers arrived at 6301 144th Street N. in unincorporated Largo looking for James. Sheriffs Office deputies assisted as the officers set up a perimeter around the house and attempted to contact James. At around 11:17 p.m., James ran from the rear of the house. During the brief contact he made with a Largo police officer at the back of the house, both fired their weapons. The officer was not injured and James, whose injuries were unknown at the time, fled the scene. The next day, the Sheriffs Office received a tip on where James might be and set up surveillance at the Suburban Lodge Motel on Ulmerton Road. After a suspicious vehicle arrived at the motel, deputies followed it until it eventually pulled into the parking lot of Sacred Heart Catholic Church on 82nd Avenue and 46th Street in Pinellas Park, according to the sheriffs report. The suspect and two other people in the vehicle realized that they were being watched by deputies and got out of the car, the Sheriffs Office reported. Deputies chased James as he ran into a residential neighborhood and caught up with him a short distance away. Detectives said that the suspect began inciting them to shoot him. Deputies deployed an electronic control device to subdue James, according to the sheriffs report. He was taken into custody without further incident. He is charged with the two previous counts of home invasion robbery. The Sheriffs Office interviewed the other two individuals who were in the car with James. They were not arrested. PSCO will head the investigation of the March 21 shooting, which occurred in their jurisdiction. The identity of the Largo officer involved has not been released to preserve the integrity of the investigation, department spokesperson Lt. Mike Loux said. As dictated by department policy, the officer has been placed on paid administrative leave. James was booked into the Pinellas County Jail just after 3 p.m. March 22. He was charged with violation of probation for a prior charge for selling cocaine, attempted murder of a law enforcement officer, felon in possession of a firearm and home invasion robbery.Suzette Porter contributed to this report.

Business newsNava Yoga Studio opensST. PETERSBURG A new yoga studio recently opened at the Isla Del Sol Shoppers Village, and snowbirds and island residents have been flocking to the classes. Nava Yoga Studio is open at 5901 Sun Blvd., Suite 120, St. Petersburg. Nava owners and yoga instructors Wendy Lester, 43, and Joanna Bilgutay Ozkaya, 32, met two years ago. Both women had stressful business careers and were looking for a healthy way to deal with lifes hectic pace and challenges. They found it through the practice of yoga. Di Tyssen, an international yoga trainer, encouraged them to take her certification course required to teach yoga. While holding down full-time jobs and tending to their families, Lester and Ozkaya spent every weekend training with Tyssen and earned their teaching certificates in two years. They learned the yoga postures, along with the philosophy and benefits of balancing mind, body and spirit. Anyone wanting to improve their physical, mental and overall well-being can do yoga. It is wonderful to have people come here to try their first yoga class and really enjoy the practice, Lester said in a press release. Yoga invigorates the body, promotes wellness, improves coordination, balance, concentration, endurance and flexibility. Nava Yoga Studio offers classes seven days a week for every level.

Hammann is not a marriage therapist or a couple counselor. Most therapists and couple counselors focus on either healing old emotional pain or solving communication problems, Hammann said in a press release. My approach is different and usually faster. What I do as a relating coach is help people learn research-based skills that change things right away. Hammann helps couples learn how they can relate better both in private sessions and through media interviews and public workshops.

Unfortunately, the shenanigans with labeling dont end there. There are many words pet food companies use that sound as though they should mean something but simply do not. The FDA, or Food and Drug Administration, does have specific rules about what a pet food label can say, but these rules can be confusing. The FDA defines that a can of pet food labeled chicken for cats has to be 95 percent chicken by weight, which sounds good. However, a food labeled chicken formula for cats has only to be 25 percent chicken. This can be a problem for people trying to avoid certain ingredients for their pets because of food allergies. That expensive bag of salmon and red lentil formula only has to be 25 percent salmon and red lentils; the rest can be anything. The word with is defined by the FDA as at least 3 percent; the can of cat food with chicken only has to contain 3 percent chicken. While with seems anemic by FDA standards, it is robust compared to how they define flavor. By FDA standards, chicken flavor cat foods only has to contain an essence of chicken that is detectable. There are dogs trained to determine if a product is present in a food, similar to trained drug sniffing dogs, so the actual amount may be infinitesimally small. With all these specific percentages defined by the FDA, they have also defined what percent means. By the FDA rules, percent means 95 percent. Yes, you did read that correctly. Premium pet foods sound impressive, and many come with a premium price tag as well. The FDA has no legal definition of the word premium, super-premium or gourmet, which means that these word can be put on ANY dog or cat food label, no matter how terrible they may be. Holistic is a popular, though misused, term on many pet foods. The concept of holistic medicine was supposed to mean that all things were taken into consideration with a patient, including diet, exercise, supplements and even mental state, as opposed to the just take a pill mentality that is becoming more and more prevalent. Holistic on dog or cat food means ... nothing. Anyone can put it on any label, even if the food is entirely synthetic and unnatural. Another popular and entirely meaningless pet food term is human-grade. According to the FDA, this phrase has no meaning. Human-edible means a food that people could eat, but human-grade can be placed on any pet food no matter what is inside of the bag or can.A pet food manufacturer is also not allowed to make health claims unless it would apply to any normal pet receiving an adequate diet. That food that claims to promote healthy skin or promote glossy coat can only make those claims if any pet receiving an adequate food would have those qualities. In essence, those phrases mean absolutely nothing. We have still only skimmed the very surface of how inadequate and bad pet food labels are. Shoppers should be wary; the super-premium, gourmet, human-grade buffalo flavor dinner for a healthy coat may not be worth the super premium gourmet price it costs, nor may it be any better for your four legged loved one.Michael J. Rumore, DVM, is the owner of Lake Seminole Animal Hospital in Largo and a former SPCA Tampa Bay board member.Pets of the month Mastiff buddiesCongratulations to Dani and Billy for winning TBNs April Pet of the Month prize. These adorable mastiff puppies belong to Amanda Hunt of Seminole and come from the same breeder in Minnesota, though they were adopted at different times. Dani is now 5 months old and Billy is 3 months. Angela fell in love with mastiffs after watching Turner and Hooch, even though she admits that Hooch was actually a French mastiff. She and her husband have now owned seven mastiffs, always two at a time. Dani is their first brindle mastiff and has a mischievous side to her. Before Billy, Dani had temporarily had an older mastiff sister, but it turned out that she is aggressive around other dogs and would do best being the only furry queen of the house.She has since found another loving home where there are no other pets and her new parents are working to tame her aggression. That situation opened the door for the Hunts to find Billy. Danis breeder had sent the Hunts a letter, saying there had been another litter and one of the little boys was blind in one eye. The breeder thought the Hunts would provide the perfect home for this special boy and that Dani would be a wonderful big sister. Although Billy will soon lose his bad eye, he is adapting well, and he and Dani are the best of friends. Over the years, Angelas dogs have helped her dive into photography, and for about a year now, she has volunteered with the SPCA Tampa Bay to do their photographs. Angela has always loved animals, and now they have taught her to t ake pictures as well. The Hunts and their mastiff pair have won a $25 gift certificate to Largo Feed and Garden Supply in either Largo or Pinellas Park. Send your pet photos to Alexandra Lundahl at alundahl@TBNWeekly.com.

Community engagement was essential to provide a comprehensive view of health and quality of life in Pinellas, said Claude M. Dharamraj, director of the countys health department. We found that we exceeded expectations in some areas and need work in others. According to a press release, the assessment included information from more than 800 residents, who completed a survey on how they feel about Pinellas as a place to live. The surveys were conducted over five weeks in June and July 2012. The assessment identified a number of areas that need improvement. One area was affordability of health care with 16 percent of the countys adults reporting they were unable to afford a doctor visit in 2010. Information in the executive summary said of the 841 people surveyed, 55.1 percent said they had private health insurance and 19 percent had Medicaid. Twenty percent said they had no insurance or were unable to afford health care. Obesity continues to be a problem affecting more than two-thirds of the population. Pinellas County has fewer obese adults than the nation and state; however, the combined percentage of adults who were either obese or overweight was 65.6 percent higher than the national rate of 63.9 percent and state at 65 percent. Cancer was the top cause of death in 2011 at 22.8 percent, followed closely by heart disease at 22.7 percent. Officials said the death rate for heart disease had decreased slightly in the past 10 years; however, the rate of decrease for blacks was slower than the rate for whites. Lung cancer was the leading cause of cancer deaths, followed by breast cancer and prostate cancer. Death rates for breast cancer, melanoma, cervical and lung cancer increased between 2000 and 2011. Nineteen percent of the countys adults smoke cigarettes. The health assessment compared Pinellas to the state in a variety of areas. Among the areas where they county led the state was sexually transmitted diseases with 3,327 per 100,000 women ages 15 to 34 contracting a STD compared to 2,603 per 100,000 statewide. Pinellas had a domestic violence rate of 772.8 per 100,000 compared to 605 per 100,000 for the state. The countys child abuse rate was 1,876 per 100,000 and the state rate was 1,145 per 100,000. Pinellas suicide rate for the years 20092011 was 17.7 per 100,000 compared to 13.8 per 100,000 statewide. The rate was highest among white males ages 45 to 60. The infant death rate for the years 2009-2011 was higher in Pinellas than the state. Black infants were three times more likely to die in the first year of life than white infants were. Pinellas had 7.9 per thousand live births compared to 6.6 per thousand statewide and the percent of low birth rates was 8.6 percent compared to 8.7 percent for the state. In 2010, 153 babies were born addicted to prescription or illegal drugs, up from only 22 in 2005. One piece of good news was that 85.5 percent of people surveyed believe their community is safe, and 83.3 percent said Pinellas is a good place to raise children. The geographic area with the highest ratings was north Pinellas and the lowest came from south Pinellas. Survey participants were asked to name three factors most important to a healthy community. The top responses were access to care, healthy behaviors and a clean environment. They also said addiction was the No. 1 health concern, followed by obesity and chronic diseases. Alcohol and drug abuse was the behavior of most concern with poor nutrition coming in second followed by a lack of physical activity. The state DOH has put together a Community Health Action Team charged with developing strategies for a 2013-2017 Community Health Improvement Plan, which must be completed by July 1. Residents who want to provide feedback or need more information can call the health department at 824-6900, ext. 4667.

Viewpoints 17A Seminole Beacon, April 11, 2013For a state that prides itself on having so much sunshine, Florida is regarded as a giant Petri dish. Look through the microscope and a major source of the problem is easily identified Tallahassee. Say it isnt so. Two well-respected open-government advocates gave troubling accounts of the assault on public access to information at the third annual Sunshine Summit March 16 at St. Petersburg Colleges Seminole campus. A public integrity section of the U.S. Department of Justice compiles a jolly list of the most corrupt states in the nation, said author and political commentator Diane Roberts. Guess who was number one? Yup. The Sunshine State. Can you believe we beat New Jersey? We beat Illinois. OK. Think about that, the most public official corruption in the country. But how on earth, given our great open government laws, do we get to a place where weve got all this bad stuff, often illegal stuff, going on? Roberts said. Somebody has to say wait a minute, you cant do that, she said. That would be the states First Amendment Foundation, the press and the public because the state doesnt have an agency to enforce open government laws. Other watchdogs have stuck their noses in the Petri dish, including a collaborative project called the State Integrity Investigation, which gave Florida a grade of D+ in public access to information. The list goes on. There are many atrocities to list on open government, Roberts said. Sadly, a shrinking press corps, as we in the newspaper business know all to well, has made holding officials accountable more difficult. The press remains energetic, but smaller. Capital bureaus used to have lots of people in them. Now they either have fewer people or they are not there at all, Roberts said. Floridas First Amendment Foundation President Barbara Petersen echoed Roberts remarks, providing several examples of governments denying people access to public information in a timely manner, charging outrageous fees for records reproduction and refusing to let people speak at meetings. Easy pickings are the governors office. Petersen said she will miss for the entertainment factor Gov. Rick Scotts former minister of truth, Press Secretary Brian Burgess. Petersens favorite Burgess quote was a response to a reporter from one of the largest papers in the state who was denied access for documents that were clearly public records. When she asked why, he said, theyre not ready for prime time. Theres a new statutory exemption. The not-ready-for prime-time exemption, Petersen said. She also gave several examples of Sunshine Law abuse at the local levels. The Boynton Beach Police Department, for example, accepts public records requests only on Wednesdays. Random rules and conditions that operate as barriers to our constitutional rights of access, Petersen said. The sad truth is too often we dont push back. If there is a positive note, Petersen believes lawmakers will pass legislation this year requiring governments to allow citizens to speak at their meetings. This is the No. 1 complaint from citizens, she said. Among the issues the foundation will be looking at next year are fees for public records. She said it will be difficult because local governments will fight against reform on fees. Governments agencies should be able to recover the cost of providing public records. They should not be in the income generating column, she said. She found out that the city of Orlando charges $564 an hour for computer run time. Their definition of extensive is five minutes or more, she said. No other local government in the area charges for computer run time. Whos going to pay that? Somethings got to give. The law says 15 cents a page or the actual cost of duplication. So why is an agency charging $10 for a CD? That CD should cost 35 cents, she said. When we asked the city of Naples why they are charging $10 for a CD, they said Well everybody else does. That doesnt make it right. The city changed its policy, but the extensive use fee needs to be revised, she said. Software is available that will allow for the cost-effective redaction of exempt information. Why arent we taking advantage of these technologies? she said. All this is a strong indication that our state lawmakers continue to place a low priority on open government. Consequently they put a low priority on good government. Thats life in the prime time Petri dish.Tom Germond is executive editor of Tampa Bay Newspapers. Email tgermond@TBNweek ly.com. Tom Germond Are you frustrated? Has your career stalled? Is your life not what youd like it to be? Then maybe its because you lack vision and passion. Todays culture is crawling with references to vision and passion. The talk shows, the wise-person interviews, TV and print advertisements they are loaded with the importance of vision and passion. So you and I better hop aboard that train right now. You may ask, Just what is vision? What is passion? Vision used to go by several names: planning, having a blueprint, a marketing strategy, a dream for the future, hope, looking ahead. We all did one or more of those things, and somehow the job got done. But then the bright boys on Madison Avenue said, We need a new buzzword that makes us seem smarter than we are. Lets try VISION! Today a candidate cannot be elected president or dogcatcher unless he/she describes the vision he has for the office. A new manager of a major league baseball team is asked, What is your vision for the team? Dont bore us with facts about your pitching rotation. Talk about vision! Henry Dorgg, a pharmacist in Arlo, Kansas, decides to open a new drugstore, the first one in town. He does all the right things. He chooses a good location on Main Street; he buys the best equipment; he hires trained personnel; he joins the Chamber of Commerce; he charges reasonable prices. But a year later, he shuts down. Why does he fail? The bright-boys verdict: He had no vision. Twenty years ago job applicants were routinely asked, Where do you see yourself five years from now? A perfectly good question. But in todays job interviews the question is What is your vision for yourself, the company, the universe? I recently learned that at least one publishing expert is telling all would-be novelists, You and/or your novel must have a vision, if it is to succeed. As I try to comprehend that advice, Ill be wondering whether Tolstoy, Faulkner, Updike, Hemingway and other major writers asked themselves What is my vision for this novel? each time they took pen in hand. Now lets turn to another buzzword that swept into town a few years ago and is still ultra-fashionable: passion. To paraphrase an old song: You aint got a thing if you aint got that passion. The old expressions indicating enthusiasm have fallen by the wayside in todays conversations. No longer is it groovy to say I love Bruce Springsteen. My brother is wild about soccer. My sister is really into Etruscan history. Thats old-fashioned phraseology. Today youd better slip at least a couple of passions into your narrative or no one will take you seriously. In 2013, if youre not passionate about something (preferably everything), your friends may think youre in a coma. And dont forget to say how excited you are (even if you really arent). Im so excited to be here at the Rotary Club luncheon. Is there room in the world for persons who do NOT have a list of overwhelming passions to set forth on their resumes and (ultimately) in their obituaries? Im thinking of people who as they move through life take quiet enjoyment from one, two or twenty different interests and pursuits, but who cannot truthfully say, Oh, yes, I have a passion for bowling, and for watching Dr. Phil. Another of my passions is collecting hummels. Do YOU have passions you want to tell me about? Oh, lets swap passions! Over-using terms like vision and passion is one big way in which language is cheapened. Without really thinking about it, we permit ourselves to be sucked into using lazy, imprecise, catch-all words. They allow us to lurch forward linguistically without having to expend time and thought choosing exactly the word thats needed. But I could be wrong. Maybe those people who seem to possess all those passions are telling the truth. Maybe theyre sincere in the depth of their feelings and enthusiasms. If so, I wish them well. I wish them the opportunity and energy to chase their passions as far as they can. And I envy them, I suppose. Although Ive had a fairly interesting life and my share of adventures, most of the time Ive avoided the whole-hog, dive-in-head-first, damn-the-torpedoes approach that so many passionate people later describe, if and when they live to tell about it. I admire the ones Ive met, but many of them have been a royal pain in the neck to know well, or even to talk to.Bob Driver is a former columnist and editorial page editor for the Clearwater Sun.

Shiett Phone: 727-397-5563LETTERS Drivers SeatBob Driver An assault on access to informationPinellas County stormwater tax who benefits?Editor: We do not support a Pinellas County tax, which would continue its flawed, piecemeal stormwater management. For 30 years, the county has denied remediation and maintenance to private stormwater ponds, which they use for public benefit. They are at the heart of the system, since they feed into larger lakes and influence their water quality. That the county wants to tax us and offer us only a new version of the ineffective Adopt-a-Pond program is outrageous. There is a difference between looking at the bigger scope and looking at big things, such as Lake Walsingham. They may be the 800-pound gorillas in the room, but lakes like Lake Sylvia are vital to comprehensive stormwater management we are the 800 onepound gorillas. Master plans make recommendations how to achieve overall goals. The County will never develop effective recommendations by ignoring these hundreds of lakes. It is one ecosystem. Over the last 30 years, the county helped Lake Sylvia residents only once, to remove algae and plant some plants, which they promised to maintain but never did. The county policy of maintenance of stormwater ponds is the responsibility of the local community that benefits from it, which includes many more homeowners than just those around Lake Sylvia. The Adopt-a-Pond program only succeeded in transferring the financial burden that belongs to the community at large onto the few of us. This one-time plant and forget about it approach is not responsible ongoing maintenance for stormwater ponds. Plants alone are in no way sufficient to solve the basic problems of privately owned lakes used by the county as public stormwater ponds. Beneficial plants do not address pollutants such as litter, motor oil, gasoline, pesticides, pet waste, and sediment. Only after stormwater retrofitting, catching pollutants before they reach the lake, and sediment removal is done does it make sense to plant the lake. Water follows the laws of nature, not of discrete political entities. Any future cosmetic Adopt-a-Pond, version 2.0 for private lakes, which are used for public benefit, will not be effective. Perpetuating this failed approach will only hurt citizens and our environment for the next 30 years. For Pinellas County to solve the problem, they need to integrate all the elements of the stormwater system public and private, large and small lakes in a single plan. John Reyner SeminoleKudos for green recertificationEditor, I would like to congratulate Pinellas County for being the first county in the state to achieve a Florida Green Local Government recertification. Pinellas County had been the first jurisdiction in the state to receive the Green Local Government designation in 2006 when it achieved the silver level. I hope the city of Seminole also will establish long-term sustainability efforts in each of its departments. Seminole needs to develop, establish, and maintain its direction for long-term sustainability plans. Perhaps, the city should work more closely with Pinellas County Extension Urban Sustainability resources, such as agent Ramona Madhosingh-Hector. I would also like to applaud the efforts of local Seminole citizens, Mary Ann Kirk and Bob Huttick, who have taken Extension courses of Sustainable Floridians and Nutrition. These citizens are also wonderful role models through their leadership role of our only Seminole Community Garden, and their membership in Seminoles Tree Advisory Committee. Thank you, Pinellas County, for leading the way to helping all municipalities to upgrade its use of sustainable practices. Mary Hampton SeminoleBetter alternatives than traffic circlesEditor: Belleair has a traffic problem too much going too fast. I understand Mayor Katica and the commissioners have approved a couple traffic circles on Indian Rocks Road at taxpayer expense thinking that may reduce traffic volume. But have they tried less expensive and less permanent alternatives first? Im not sure about that. I believe a townwide speed limit of 25 mph should be implemented and rigorously enforced. Belleair is strictly a residential community, and every residential community (several) I have lived in, 25 mph was the norm. This allowed residents to safely walk/bicycle on the streets. And there are five entrances to Belleair. Why not put the hated speed bumps in place at those locations? Both may convince pass through drivers to go elsewhere with minimal Belleair taxpayer expense. Both of these things are certainly cheaper than the traffic circles, which if put in place, and do not achieve the desired traffic reduction, then what? Remove them also at taxpayer expense? I have neighbors that are in favor of speed bumps and speed reduction to 25 mph. I drive at that speed on my street out of consideration for those living here. I hope other residents do the same. The mayor does not think a 5 mph speed reduction will accomplish much. I think it will improve safety and possibly reduce traffic, both beneficial. As a resident of Belleair, I want to see improved street safety, and a reduction in unnecessary traffic volume, in conjunction with smart town road planning and tax spending. I dont see that happening. If any Belleair readers are of a like mind, then you should speak up and tell the mayor and commissioners your thoughts. They are supposed to work for us town of Belleair residents. Ross Whitaker BelleairGreat event needs more parkingEditor: As an Indian Rocks Beach property owner and part-time resident, I wanted to offer my praise and congratulations to the organizers of Green Fest, and especially to coordinator Christy Ward. How exciting that the event keeps growing. Apparently the only blemish was a lack of parking (though IRB does allow on-street parking, so all was well). I hope we all see the irony in this so-called problem at an eco-friendly Green Fest. Perhaps the goal should be to reduce the need for more parking by encouraging carpools, shuttles, and having more people walk and bicycle to future events. Maybe a bike parking area could help? Thanks again, and heres to a successful and eco-friendly 2014! Diane Daniel Durham, N.C.Thanks to supportersEditor: Many thanks to all the good folks who were so kind to us in the recent city of Seminole local election. We finished in third place for the first time, with more votes than the previous election. And we did it the old-fashioned way, we earned your vote. We did not buy it. Traditionally, we pay for the filing fees and associated costs, about $200. Last year the successful candidate spent that much per vote received, of about $30,000. We have not seen the final financials for this recent election, but are aware that the incumbents spent large amounts of money again. It just does not seem logical that anyone would have to spend that kind of money to get elected here in Seminole. Again, many thanks to all who gave their time and talent to an open, honest effort. Thanks to all who allowed us to place our signs on their properties. And a special thanks to all the good folks who supported us with their votes. We appreciate your participation in the democratic process. And look forward to the time when folks do not have to buy their way to a seat on our City Council.

Although the children may visit often, typically they are not present when it comes time for mom or dads doctors visits or other appointments they attend for their well being. One of the most difficult things for patients, is knowing how to ask questions of a doctor. You owe it to yourself to ask these questions, especially when it comes to prescribed medications. Take a list of your current medications and vitamin intake along with you. It is important to review each drug recommended and learn of all the side effects that are a possibility. Because time is limited it is important to make a list of any questions you have pertaining to your health so you are sure to get your answers before walking out the door. Jot down the answers if you fear you may not remember them. Invite a friend or caregiver you trust to go along with you for support. This person does not need to speak for you but their presence may ensure that someone is caring for you. This relative or friend can help you remember the key points made by your doctor. If you're not sure you understand what is happening, ask questions until you feel comfortable. It is important to know all of your options when diagnosed with a problem. If tests are recommended, be sure to ask what they entail so you are comfortable if you choose to go forward with them. Learn if there are side effects to these tests. It is quite normal to feel worried about speaking frankly with your doctor, but your doctor will be able to be more sensitive to your needs if you inform him of your concerns. He or she is there to help you with all of your medical concerns. It is important to be assertive and to gather all the knowledge you can regarding your health. Communicate openly in your effort to receive the right health care.

Community 19A Around PinellasCity to pass prostitution ordinanceLARG0 The Largo Police Department is hoping that a proposed ordinance will allow them to arrest more prostitutes working local street corners. We received numerous community complaints typically in the Clearwater-Largo Road corridor for working, street-level prostitutes, police Sgt. Michael Bruno explained to the Largo Commission April 2. Commissioners gave their initial approval of a measure that makes certain habits and behaviors of prostitutes illegal within Largos city limits. Currently, investigators are bound by the standards of the state statute. That means police have two ways of making an arrest for prostitution. First, they can watch suspected prostitutes, wait for a John to pick them up, stop his vehicle and hope that someone in the car admits to exchanging money for sex. If were unable to get an admission from one or both of those parties, were really unable to take enforcement action under the state statute, Bruno said. The second method involves an undercover police officer witnessing the solicitation firsthand. Most of the prostitutes that work this area have been arrested multiple times, often by us multiple times, Bruno said. We have to convince them that were not working with law enforcement. To screen the potential client, prostitutes will ask an undercover officer to either touch them inappropriately or expose himself inappropriately. Which of course, were not going to do, Bruno said. That typically ends our ability to enforce the state statute at that point because they will not discuss with us the necessary elements needed to make a prostitution case. Instead, the proposed ordinance allows officers to make an arrest if they observe a suspect doing at least three of a list of behaviors associated with prostitution. These behaviors include, among others, repeatedly stopping pedestrians, repeatedly hailing drivers and gesturing to, touching or exposing private areas. The suspect must have a prior conviction or have pleaded no contest to a prostitution charge within the last two years in order for an officer to make the arrest. Under the proposed ordinance, police also can arrest a suspect if she asks an undercover officer to expose himself or touch her inappropriately, essentially making the common screening process illegal. Admitting his own naivety on the subject, Commission Michael Smith asked what the department was doing to convince the Johns and pimps involved in prostitution. Bruno said the department conducted separate undercover operations, usually with a female officer, to go after the other side of the problem. This ordinance wouldnt really do much to go after the actual pimp that benefits from prostitution, he clarified. Smith also was concerned the ordinance would lead to the accidental arrest of someone unassociated with prostitution. We designed (the ordinance) that way specifically so we wouldnt have someone thats just flagging down a vehicle and confused, Bruno said. The cities of Clearwater, St. Petersburg and Tampa enforce similar ordinances. In particular, Largo police worked with the Clearwater Police Department to observe the effectiveness of its enforcement of the rule. Since 2008, Largos problem oriented policing unit has made 57 arrests for prostitution. The commission unanimously approved the first reading of the proposed ordinance. The second and final reading is scheduled for April 16. Juliana A. TorresMunicipal center to move forwardMADEIRA BEACH City officials emerged from a March 26 town hall session on the planned municipal center with a clear about, she said. Nelson urged the city to do the entire project. You will save money on construction and the cost of a bond issue, she said. Rosie Bailey also said she supports everything proposed. She said an outdoor fitness center and community garden should be considered. The new ball fields will bring in tournaments that can generate a lot of money for the city businesses, Armando Costello said. Steve Miller said he does not personally want the ball fields, but acknowledged their tremendous support by the community. Miller spoke of noise and lighting that impacts residents on nearby Harbor Drive. A few residents wanted the scaled-down version of the municipal center that includes the city hall and fire station only. Deby Weinstein said she is against the rec field improvements and the multi-purpose building. Im all for the kids, said former Commissioner Marv Merrill, but we already have a $550,000 recreation budget. Its not like were not doing anything. But former Commissioner Steve Kochick told the commission, If you listen to the nay-sayers, nothing will ever get done. Should we put our money into the ball fields? Damn straight we should, said Kochick. Lets get this thing done its taking way too long, said Todd Nichols. It is the commissions responsibility to act. You need to vote on this and get it done, Doug Speeler said. The commission members picked up the move on message. Palladeno said its time for the city to go forward with the project. Commissioner Terry Lister said, Sounds like the majority want to make Madeira Beach a better place to live. We have enough money for this and the other projects, so lets move it forward. Incoming commissioner and former Mayor Pat Shontz said shes for the whole project. Lets move on and get it done, she said. Vice Mayor Robin Vander Veldes call for another town meeting, on a Saturday so more residents could attend, was turned down. Commissioner Nancy Oakley was absent from the meeting. Wayne AyersIndian Shores swears in Herndon, SmithINDIAN SHORES Councilors Joan Herndon and Bill Smith were sworn in for another term at the March 26 town hall meeting. Mayor Jim Lawrence noted that, since both councilors had run unopposed, not holding a formal election saved the town $5,000. Smith was elected vice mayor for the next year. Lawrence commended Herndon on her service as vice mayor. When I think of the 16 or 17 classes (held) in this room (Community Center) every day, he said, our recreation program was conceived by you (Herndon). Committee assignments for 2013-14 will remain the same as the prior year. A plaque was presented to Councilor Steve Sutch for seven years of service, heading the Coastal Cleanup Committee, which he has agreed to continue to do. Herndon is the Public Services Committee chairman. The vice chairman is Councilor Carole Irelan and the council alternate is Smith. Janet McKee is the citizen member of the committee and the citizen alternate is Neil Rode. Lawrence is the Administrative and Finance Committee chairman and Irelan is vice chairman. The council alternate is Sutch. Art Newsome is the citizen member and Steven Uhlhorn is the citizen alternate. The towns Planning, Zoning and Building Committee is chaired by Smith. Sutch is vice chairman and Lawrence is the council alternate. John McBaine is the citizen member and alternate citizen members are Anne Miller, Pat Soranno and Fred Strahlendorf. The BIG-C voting member is Lawrence. Smith is the first alternate and Herndon is the second alternate. The canvassing board consists of Irelan, Sutch, Lawrence and town clerk Marcia Grantham. Herndon is the towns liaison to the Indian Shores Property Owners Association and Irelan will again be in charge of the boat parade. At the conclusion of the meeting, a plaque naming the towns fourth floor Community Center room in memory of Larry Nayman was dedicated. Nayman was the towns building official for 10 years until his death in 2012. Lawrence listed a litany of contributions Nayman made to the town. His (Naymans) real claim to fame is this building (Indian Shores Municipal Center), said Lawrence. He acted as general contractor for the building, saving the town thousands of dollars. Jeannie Carlson message from the large and vocal crowd attending. The consensus: Its time to end the meetings and move ahead with the project. Following presentations from the architects and financial consultants who had little new to show from previous sessions, speaker after speaker from the audience, with few exceptions, urged city commissioners and staff to go ahead and get the job done. Most favored the larger version, which adds the recreation complex and a multi-purpose center to a new city hall and fire station. The cost of that option is expected to be about $9 million. At the end of the session, most commission members agreed with Mayor Travis Palladeno when he said, Its time for the city to move forward. Discussion of building a new municipal center began nearly two years ago, and the condition of the current city hall was an issue long before that. Last May, the commission hired Wannemacher Jensen Architects of St. Petersburg to design a total makeover of the Madeira Beach city government complex on Madeira Way. At the time, architect Jason Jensen promised to come up with a vision that everyone can embrace and move forward with. Since then, multiple meetings have taken place, the project scope has expanded and contracted with the waves of public opinion, and little forward movement has been evident. After being assured by the citys financial consultant that even the largest complex being considered with a $9 million price tag is affordable, residents at the March 26 town hall session were ready to get the job done. Loud applause greeted those who urged the commission to end the meetings and start the project. Its time for the city to look forward and be progressive, said John Leeper. You have the revenue, go do it, he said. Most agreed with Peter Trott, who said he supported doing the whole thing. Trott was speaking of the municipal center option that includes a new recreation center and ball field upgrades, and a multi-purpose building in addition to a city hall and fire station. A number of younger residents with children said they favored improving the recreation complex, especially the ball fields. Little League president Dan Griffin told the commission to do the larger option. I encourage you to consider our children. They want to be a part of their community, he said. We need a new city hall and new ball fields, said Tom Laronge. We need this for our kids. The kids are our future. Kelsey Nelson, mother of a 2year-old, said the present ball fields and playgrounds are not up to par. New families are moving in. Thats what we need to worry Tampa Bay Newspapers: All rights reserved www.tbnweekly.com

Knight Director: Brian Helgeland Rated: PG-13 tells the story of two men the great Jackie Robinson and trailblazing Brooklyn Dodgers GM Branch Rickey whose brave stand against prejudice forever changed the world by changing the game of baseball. In 1947, Branch Rickey put himself at the forefront of history when he signed Jackie Robinson to the Brooklyn Dodgers, breaking Major League Baseballs infamous color line. But the deal also put both Robinson and Rickey in the firing line of the public, the press and other players. Facing blatant racism from every side, even his own team, Robinson was forced to demonstrate tremendous courage and restraint by not reacting in kind, knowing that any incident could destroy his and Rickeys hopes. Instead, No. 42 let his talent on the field do the talking ultimately winning over fans and his teammates, silencing his critics, and paving the way for others to follow. In 1997, Major League Baseball retired the number 42 for all teams, making it the first number in sports to be universally retired. The only exception is every year on April 15 Jackie Robinson Day commemorating the date of his first game as a Brooklyn Dodger. On that day alone, players from every team proudly wear the number 42 to honor the man who altered the course of history.Scary Movie 5Genre: Comedy and horror Cast: Ashley Tisdale, Charlie Sheen, Lindsay Lohan, Snoop Dogg, Katt Williams, Molly Shannon, Terry Crews, Simon Rex, Jerry OConnell, Sarah Hyland, Katrina Bowden, Tyler Posey, Shad Moss aka Bow Opening this weekendScary Movie 5 features Tisdale, Sheen; Ford, Boseman star in Wow, Kate Walsh, Heather Locklear, Mac Miller and Mike Tyson Director: Malcolm Lee Rated: PG-13 The latest installment of the Scary Movie franchise includes send ups of Paranormal Activity, Mama, Sinister, The Evil Dead, Inception, Black Swan and pop culture.

Coming up it will be rock from the 1970s, as the outdoor concert series in Belleair wraps up the season on Sunday, April 14, at the Dimmitt Community Center. A tribute to the Eagles will be featured at the concert. Hotel California will be performing, and Belleair officials predict more people will attend this concert than any of the others. Tickets for the concert can be obtained at the Belleair Rec Center. Tickets are $5 in advance and $10 at the gate. The gates open at 4 p.m. and the music starts at 5 p.m. Food and beverage vendors will be on site. Right now ticket sales are higher than they were at this time before the Tams, said concert organizer Sara Borger of the recent Motown concert. Were way ahead of where we were, and the last week before the concert is when we really sell well so were expecting close to a sell-out. Hotel California as a group began in the early 1980s. Wade Hogue is one of the lead singers and a founder of the group. He said choosing to play nothing but Eagles music was not a hard decision. All Eagles music, that is all we do, he said from his home in California. We began by playing in clubs and bars but wanted to get into something that was more lasting. We wanted good music and good vocals and the Eagles was it. Hogue said it is always interesting to watch the crowd at a concert in a town where they have never performed before. I think our music exceeds expectations because people dont know what to expect, he said. But when we start playing people get hooked in and they love it. And they get up to dance; they cant help themselves. In a place like Belleair, outdoors, people can get up and have a good time. When Hotel California begins playing on Sunday it could be a little like preaching to the choir, as the old saying goes. They were chosen as the headliners for the concert not by accident. When we asked people what they wanted to hear at a concert they constantly tell us they want to hear songs that they know and they can sing, said Borger, the organizer. The demographics of Belleair are such that the Eagles were the popular band at the time, and the majority of Belleair residents want to hear that music. So we looked for a band that played that music and fit our budget and we discovered Hotel California. A tribute band is what fits the budget according to Borger. We cant get Springsteen or Elton John or the Eagles, but we can get a tribute band and it is okay. Borger said the popularity of the upcoming concert is not only measured by the ticket sales but also by companies and groups coming forward to help sponsor the event. The title sponsor of the Eagles Tribute is MaintenX, owned by Belleair resident Pat OHara. As for the size of the crowd expected, Borger said despite the demand, it will be limited. We had 2,200 people here for the Tams, she said. We arent going to sell any more than 3,000 tickets to any concert even though we could fit in more people. We want to maintain the small town feel of the concerts, make it easy to navigate. And it is working; there is more and more interest each time. This isnt the first time in the Bay area for Hotel California. They recently played at the Florida State Fair in Tampa and for the past eight years have played at Disneys Epcot Center in their summer concert series. When they were in Tampa, Hogue said they rented a house in Clearwater. It is a beautiful area and we know exactly where Belleair is, he said. Hogue is reluctant to say exactly how old he and the other band members are, but he said they fit the bill. I dont want to deal too much with that, he said. Were older gentlemen, from the late s to s; were not young boys. It is unusual to have tribute bands around when the original group is still playing. The original Eagles are alive and well and are constantly on tour. Back in the mid-1970s the Eagles were considered Americas biggest band with hits such as Hotel California, New Kid in Town and One of These Nights. They have sold 150 million records worldwide. They disbanded in 1980 but regrouped in 1994 and have been performing ever since. Hogue said there is no way his group can compete with the Eagles and they dont want to. I would say were a complement to the Eagles, not competition, he said. There can be no competitors for the original, until they retire, but even then I dont think there will be competition. In addition to Hogue the band members are George Eickinson, Steve Probst, Dan Hill and Scott Fronsoe. Hogue said they are not ready to retire yet and plan to continue the play of Eagles music for a while yet. Were going to go as long as our bodies and health allow us, he said. It is kind of one of those things you cant let go of, we have the tiger by the tail. There is too much demand and our reputation is good; there are other Eagles tributes bands around but nothing that can compare with what we do.Hotel California, the group that will be in a tribute concert for the Eagles on Sunday in Belleair.We want to maintain the small town feel of the concerts, make it easy to navigate.Sara Borger concert organizer Belleair Tampa Bay Newspapers: All rights reserved www.tbnweekly.com

Where your changes your life. By BOB McCLURESEMINOLE There was a content expression on the face of Brian Lester. After more attempts than he could remember, the 54-year-old St. Petersburg runner accomplished a longtime goal April 6 when he captured the overall championship in the 20th annual Stampede 5K run at Walsingham Park. Lester, who competes as a grand master, broke from the field of 133 runners within the first mile and never looked back. He finished the 3.1-mile course in 17 minutes, 56 seconds 13 seconds in front of 27year-old Clayton Hofstra of Seminole. I usually win my age class, said Lester. But this is the first time to get first place overall. I wasnt proud of my time but I was happy to win. For Hofstra, a University of South Florida medical school grad, it was his last race before heading to South Carolina where he will complete his medical residency. He finished in 18:11 two seconds in front of third-place Charles Anstadt of Seminole. Fourth overall was 18-year-old Scott Scarpinato of Seminole (18:25), followed by 26-year-old Mathew Regan of Buffalo, N.Y. in 18:47. The overall female winner was Kiera Delaurier, 32, of St. Petersburg in 19:14, which was good for seventh overall. Anstadt was the male Grand Master division winner and Lisa McFadden, 42, of Seminole was the female Grand Master winner in 22:41. Age group winners were: Male 10-under, William Stone, 9, Largo, 22:42. Female 10-under, Annaliese Rexroad, 8, Largo, 30:22. Male 11-14, Jared McFadden, 13, Seminole, 20:01.

The recognition signifies that Bay Pines VAHCS has reached an aggressive goal of treating heart failure patients according to the guidelines of care recommended by the American Heart Association/American College of Cardiology. Following the treatment guidelines can improve the quality of care for heart failure patients, save lives and ultimately, reduce healthcare costs by lowering the recurrence of heart attacks. Heart failure patients are started on aggressive risk-reduction therapies if needed, including cholesterol-lowering drugs, beta-blockers, ACE inhibitors, aspirin, diuretics and anticoagulants while in the hospital. Before discharge, patients also receive education on managing their heart failure and overall health, including lifestyle modifications and followup care. Hospitals must adhere to these measures at a set level for a designated period of time to be eligible for the achievement awards. Bay Pines is dedicated to making our care for heart failure patients among the best in the country. The American Heart Associations Get With The Guidelines Heart Failure program helps us to accomplish this goal, said Teresa Kumar, associate director for patient care and nursing services. According to the American Heart Association, about 5.7 million people suffer from heart failure. And each year, 670,000 new cases are diagnosed and more than 277,000 people will die of heart failure. However, many heart failure patients can lead a full, enjoyable life when their condition is managed with proper medications and devices and with healthy lifestyle changes. The Bay Pines VAHCS is one of the nations leading VA healthcare systems, employing more than 3,500 medical professionals and support staff dedicated to providing care to veterans residing in southwest Florida. The Bay Pines VA is accredited by The Joint Commission and the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities. The healthcare system is also a three-time winner of the Robert W. Carey Circle of Excellence Award, the VAs top honor for quality achievement. The healthcare system operates nine facilities to include the main medical center located in Bay Pines and outpatient clinics located in Bradenton, Cape Coral, Naples, Palm Harbor, Port Charlotte, Sarasota, St. Petersburg, and Sebring. Each year, Bay Pines treats nearly 100,000 veterans while providing a full range of high quality medical, psychiatric, and extended care services.

PARC, from page 1ASEMINOLE Mayor Leslie Waters has been selected as one of 14 American women to serve on the Womens Democracy Network Council, headquartered in Washington, D.C. and chaired by Cindy McCain, wife of Sen. John McCain. Over the years I have worked with Jordanian elected women city officials, with Bosnian women members of Parliament, Waters said. In Africa, I spoke from the floor of the Southern Sudan Parliament to women state and national legislators, facilitated campaign workshops for Egyptian women running for Parliament, and in Sri Lanka instructed women on how to effectively advocate their government. Waters is a former Florida legislator, president/founder of the Leslie Waters Government Consulting firm, and adjunct political science professor at Eckerd College. The Womens Democracy Network is an Initiative of the International Republican Institute. The Council is instrumental in supporting WDNs mission of empowering women around the world to greater activism and leadership in public life. By connecting women to resources and to their counterparts around the world, they will learn new skills to help build thriving communities for their families and lasting democracies for their people. The Network of women is currently active in 61 countries in every region of the world. It is an honor to be asked to continue to bring my own business, campaign, political, legislative, and civic experience to the WDN Council in an effort to educate and connect aspiring women leaders across the world on ways to enhance their democracies, Waters said. ST. PETE BEACH The Veterans of South Pinellas County plan its third annual Salute to the Military parade, street fair and charity pancake breakfast Friday and Saturday, April 12 and 13 in Pass-A-Grille. The parade, which begins Friday at 6 p.m., kicks off the two-day celebration organized to honor active U.S. military members and veterans. St. Pete Beach Mayor Steve McFarlin, will serve as the grand marshal of the parade and the Pinellas County Sheriff Bob Gualtieri will lead the event, which will pass through the streets of Pass-A-Grille. The parade will feature the Lakewood and Admiral Farragut high school marching bands. The four branches of the U.S. military, including the Florida National Guard plus the Coast Guard, will participate. Also participating will be the Tampa Bay Rays cheerleaders and Raymond, the team mascot, plus more than 50 patriotic and military vehicles driven by veterans and current military personnel. After the parade, the Army will host a ceremony and administer the oath of enlistment to recruits from the local area marking the start of their service to the nation. The street fair with military vehicles, weapons displays and family fun activities will be from 5 to 10 p.m. on Friday and 8 a.m. to noon Saturday. Back for a third year is the charity pancake breakfast on Saturday, hosted by The Hurricane Seafood Restaurant with chefs and support staff from the Hard Rock Caf handling the cooking. Breakfast is served 8 a.m. to noon. Tickets are $10 for adults and $5 for children. Military and first responders in uniform eat free. Event chairman Don Schmidt said more than 1,800 people attended last year and a similar sized turnout is expected this year. Proceeds from the event will go to the Building Homes for Heroes organization. Specifically, the group will use it to pay for renovations to a house in St. Petersburg for Sgt. Charles Claybaker and his wife Kandice and for other local charitable activities. Claybaker, a native of St. Petersburg, was severely wounded in April 2010, in Afghanistan when the Air Force CV-22 Osprey tilt-rotor he was in crashed during a night mission.Above, Keira, a 2-year-old Maltese, obeys the commands of Lori Bond of Clearwater in the dog tricks contest at the seventh annual Pawfest event hosted by the Kiwanis Club of Largo/Mid-Pinellas at Largo Central Park April 6.

They have typically spent hours poring over the records and images found online today, and most of us remember a period when that time was spent in front of a hooded microfilm reader. It was, and is, time well spent because of the wealth of information and hints for further research that the census provides. But did you know that when you are doing that research you are only looking at one of several documents produced during the taking of the census? The documents we generally look at are known as the population schedule. That is the part of the census that enumerates, or lists, the population of the country. But there were other schedules that were produced at the same time as the population schedule that have relatively recently been made easily available to us online. As a group, these are known as the non-population schedules. For instance if a person on the population schedule is found to be the owner or operator of a farm, then another document called the farm schedule was produced. And if the person on the population schedule was the owner of a manufacturing business, then a manufacturing schedule was completed. Each of those additional schedules went into sometimes excruciating detail about the assets and productivity of the individual farm or business. In the case of the agricultural census, for example, the number of farm animals by type were recorded (pigs, goats, chicken, horses, milch cows, etc.), the number of acres under cultivation and fallow, the acres of timberland, the production in bushels of oats and other grains, etc. The questions go on and on. Non-population schedules were not produced every census year, and some have not survived over time. The period from 1850 to 1880 saw a number of them, however. It is those that are accessible to us today. Some of the schedules actually do enumerate people, just as the familiar population schedules did, but they are special groups so I am including them in the category of non-population schedules for convenience. Those schedules include: slave schedule (1850-60), agricultural (1850-80), manufacturing (185080), mortality (1850-85), social statistics (1850-80), defective/dependent/delinquent (1880), veterans and widows (1890), and Indian (1885-1940). In earlier articles I have already discussed the special veterans census of 1890 and the mortality schedules. In future articles Ill cover some of the other schedules that I have listed. Until recently, accessing these schedules has been somewhat challenging because the National Archives had microfilmed only a few states records, and none were digitized to view online. Also some states records were retained in various repositories such as state archives or historical societies. But relatively recently, access has become easier as Ancestry.com has digitized them and made them available online. Remember that Ancestry is a subscription site, but you can access it for free at your local public library. Additionally, the free site FamilySearch.org also has some of the schedules digitized, but not nearly as many as Ancestry at this point. Even the Ancestry collection is not complete. It varies with the type of schedule you are interested in, but the states represented are basically the following: Alabama, California, Georgia, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Nebraska, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Texas, Virginia, and Washington. Note that I said availability really depends on the schedule you are interested in, so it never hurts to search the collection to see what hits you may get even if at first glance it might appear that your ancestor was not represented. It is also important to know that in general, data recorded on the non-population schedules covered one year exactly (the 365-day period preceding the effective date of the census). Also realize that the information collected on each schedule changed throughout the years. That means it is worth your time to look at the schedules over the span of census years if you have an ancestor who was recorded. In future articles I will cover in more detail some of the nonpopulation schedules, but they are there waiting for you if you want to get a head start on me.Peter Summers is an amateur genealogist who has been working on his family history since 1972. He is past president of the Pinellas Genealogy Society. Genealogy exposedPeter Summers Organization asks for Big Sisters LARGO Big Brothers Big Sisters of Pinellas County challenges women of the community to honor Womens History Month by helping little girls follow in their footsteps. Locally established in 1967, Big Brothers Big Sisters is the oldest, largest and most effective youth mentoring organization in the United States. The longevity of its existence speaks volumes to the power of mentoring.There are currently 51 girls in Pinellas, Citrus and Hernando counties waiting to be matched with a Big Sister. These girls often have an incarcerated parent, reside with a relative caregiver or live in a single-parent home. The presence of a positive female role model would impact their lives tremendously. Big Brothers Big Sisters has been the leader in one-to-one youth service for more than a century, developing positive relationships that have a direct and lasting impact on the lives of young people. Sometimes all a child needs is someone to talk too, a mentor to provide guidance and an encouraging influence to start them on the right path in life.

Should we parent our kids differently because of their birth order?My husband, the girls and I were driving to a wedding a few weeks ago, listening to the radio when well-known author and speaker, Dr. Kevin Leman came on talking about the birth order of kids in a family, explaining that where you are in the birth order often shapes you as a person. As we listened, we couldnt believe how what he was saying was so true. My husband and I are both firstborns, so we are very similar in a lot of ways. According to Dr. Leman, Clearly, firstborns are natural leaders. They also tend to be reliable, conscientious and perfectionists who dont like surprises. Although, firstborns are typically aggressive, many are also compliant people-pleasers. They are model children who have a strong need for approval from anyone in charge. Can you relate to this if you are a firstborn? How about your firstborn child? I know I can. I am a perfectionist and a people pleaser. My oldest daughter is too. Dr. Leman goes on to say how we parent, or how our parents raised us, is why we are how we are. I started thinking about how I treat my first child compared to my second. I do give her more responsibilities. I often say, Watch your little sister or Help your little sister. I know I had more responsibilities growing up, especially with three younger siblings. Dr. Leman says as parents we need to watch that we arent improvers to our firstborn, meaning we dont ask our child to do something and then improve what they have done. This makes them try to be even more of a perfectionist because they feel they didnt do what we want done the right way. And yes, I am guilty of that. I will straighten things up after I ask my daughter to straighten something up. Its my perfectionist personality. Now that I am aware, I am going to work on that. Its funny how being a parent the first time is different than even the second time around. A good example for my husband and I is our pacifier policy. When my oldest Randi Kay was born and she would drop her pacifier on the floor, we would rinse the pacifier in hot water and sterilize it before giving it back to her. With our second child, Graci, we didnt go to extremes to sterilize it. We would just rinse it with water and pop it back in her mouth. I see with my brother and sister-in-law who have four kids that there just isnt time to do all you did with the first baby as the fourth. There are three more kids to contend with. So, what does Dr. Leman say about the children after the firstborn? He says, Middle children often feel like their older brother gets all the glory while their younger sister escapes all discipline. Because the middle child feels that the world pays him less attention, he tends to be secretive; he does not openly share his thoughts or feelings. While lastborns may be charming, they also have the potential to be manipulative, spoiled or babied to the point of helplessness. The last child also loves the limelight. Now if you have an only child, Dr. Leman says they are like the firstborns, but they are even more responsible and even bigger perfectionists. I can see how my second daughter is very similar to what Dr. Leman says about the lastborn. She is a little babied. She is charming and wants to keep up with her older sister, but can be a little spoiled and manipulative to get what she wants. Just recently my older daughter told me my younger one gets away with more than her. I didnt realize I was letting her get away with more, but I started watching that. Dr. Leman says thats typical: Statistics show the lastborn is least likely to be disciplined and the least likely to have to toe the mark the way the older children did. You can be sure your older children are watching you closely! And they are. I remember telling my mom the same thing about my younger siblings. I do recall my parents discipline was different for each one of us. My mom and dad could just look at me sternly and I would cry. Now, for my brother and middle sister that was a different story. The birth order is definitely something to think about as we raise our children. I dont know how much we can change how the birth order affects our childrens personalities, but we can at least try to work on any negative effects the birth order can have.Kadi Hendricks Tubbs, mother of two girls ages 7 and 8, lives in Seminole.

However, there are some nice fish being caught in our area. The best locations thus far have been around the Skyway Bridge and the shipping channel. This area seems to be holding the most bait, so naturally that is were kingfish will be. Until we get that huge influx of threadfins off the beach we wont see the schools of Spanish mackerel and kingfish in our near-shore waters. But Spanish mackerel are schooling in good numbers around the Skyway pier area. Anglers casting silver spoons and Gotcha plugs are doing well throughout the day, with sunrise and sundown being peak times. Inshore, trout and redfish have both been cooperating well on these new moon tides. Target deep water flats directly adjacent to the extreme shallows on the low incoming tide, for a chance at both species. Spoil islands, no-motor zone flats and just about anywhere else that you can find clean, good moving water are potential hot spots. Casting top-water lures first thing in the morning will help you locate active fish. Flats fish are much more active now than a few weeks ago, making them much more likely to respond to the loud commotion put out by the top-water plug. Pompano are in for sure. Lots of pompano are being caught off the bridges and piers as well as deep dropoffs around spoil islands inside of the passes. Pompano feed best on fast moving tides and low light conditions. Traditional hot spots would be the Bayway Bridge, the Tierra Verde Bridge, and Pass-AGrille channel. Until next week, get bent!Tyson Wallerstein can be reached at capt.tyson@hotmail .com.

April is National Donate Life Month, and tax collector employees are participating in the annual Donate Life Challenge, a month-long effort among tax collectors and the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles to promote awareness of Floridas organ donor registry. I am honored that my offices can be part of an effort like this that helps save lives said Pinellas County Tax Collector Diane Nelson. We have been involved in the organ donor effort since we began issuing driver licenses in 2001, and 98 percent of Floridas donor registrations now occur through driver license transactions. Tax collector employees help register potential organ donors by asking all drivers license customers if they would like to join the registry. Last years Donate Life Challenge led to more than 66,000 new donor registrations throughout Florida. Floridas organ registry recently reached a milestone of 7 million registrants. It is the second largest state registry in the nation, which gives hope to families of patients like 10-year-old Hope Kienle, who received a liver transplant before she reached age 2. Although my husband and I were both registered organ donors, we didnt give much thought to organ donation until Hope was 64 days old, said Hopes mom, Amy Kienle. That was the day we found out she may need a liver transplant. We dont know much about Hopes organ donor, but we feel like they are part of our family. Their loved one saved our Hope. More than 4,500 Floridians currently await organ transplants, and more than 118,000 patients are on the nationwide list. How to register as an organ donor Florida offers four simple ways to register as an organ, tissue or eye donor: 1. On Donate Life Floridas website at www.DonateLifeFlorida.org. 2. When renewing your driver license online at www.GoRenew.com. 3. When obtaining a new or renewed driver license in an office. 4. By calling Donate Life Florida at 1-877-35-SHARE (1-877-3574273).Hazardous waste collection is April 13TARPON SPRINGS Get rid of household hazardous waste Saturday, April 13, 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., at Tarpon Springs High School, 1411 Gulf Road.

When this damage occurs, residents depend on insurance to help bring them back to normal. The problem is that many learn they have purchased insufficient coverage or failed to get the right kind of policies after the damage is done and when they need protection the most. Thats why hurricane pre-season is the perfect time to review insurance policies to ensure coverage is both adequate and comprehensive. Some very important points to consider include: Read that policy. Start on the declaration page. Thats where your name and address are and usually the limits covered. If you read nothing else after that, read the exclusions. And watch for any special endorsement that excludes wind coverage. Ask your agent to explain any questions you have. Soak up flood insurance. Since 1968, most homeowners or renters policies have not covered damage from flooding. That coverage is provided under the prevue of the National Flood Insurance Program at www.floodsmart.gov. Besides protecting from the obvious damage of rising drainage creeks, it also protects against storm surge. Another coverage is sewer backup from a flood. Even if your policy covers sewer backup, will most likely have an exclusion if the sewer backup is caused by flooding. All flood policies require 30 days from when they are ordered until they are ordered, which means buying flood insurance at the last minute wont work. If you are located in a Flood Hazard Area, you may need to get a flood elevation certificate which could take some time. If you are not, there is still the application process, which will take time. You may be surprised by how inexpensive flood insurance is, especially if you are not in a Flood Hazard Area. Wind is special. Hurricane or windstorm deductibles are not like the standard deductible on your policy. While there may be a smaller deductible for a fire or burglary loss, windstorm deductibles are typically a percentage of your homes value. This is done to help keep premiums low, but can add up to an expensive surprise when the time comes. A 5 percent deductible on a house valued at $200,000 can leave policy owners on the hook for the first $10,000 of repairs. Getting to code. After a hurricane, if a home is damaged beyond a certain amount, the new structure will need to be rebuilt to current Florida building codes. While this may not be a problem for a home after 2001, it could be a considerable expense for a home built before that year. Law and ordinance coverage helps bring even older homes up to current code should significant damage occur. Cars need comprehensive. Basic auto coverage is required on all vehicles operated in the state of Florida. While these policies offer minimal coverage for auto accidents, other hazards such as flooding, wind damage and the like are covered under a comprehensive auto insurance policy. Renters need coverage, too. A landlord or property owner will have insurance on the structure that is being rented, but renters need coverage as well to protect their personal belongings. As with regular homeowners policies, most renters insurance coverage does not cover flooding, so a separate flood insurance policy can make a difference in how quickly you can replace your possessions. Inventories are invaluable. While most homeowners can recall from memory the larger items in their homes, would they be able to catalog every item down to the smallest details? A quick home inventory done on a list or through photos or video can help tremendously after the disaster. A video or pictures on your tablet computer or smart phone will only take minutes. Capture what is on the walls, the fixtures and type of flooring as well as your personal property. Also, check with your agent to see if your insurance carrier offers replacement cost coverage on your contents. Otherwise, your structure may be covered to be rebuilt, but your contents may be depreciated by the insurance carrier. While insurance can replace items after the fact, it is not a substitute for taking steps to reduce a homes vulnerability to a hurricanes fury. Bracing garage doors, shuttering windows and stowing yard items before a storms winds are felt can mean the difference between minor damage and a total disaster. Also, your homeowner insurance cant protect people from injury due to flying debris. Discuss with your agent the most effective way to present a claim, should a disaster strike. If many homes are damaged, know how your carrier will find your home. If you must evacuate, take your insurance policy with you. Have the claims office phone number and your agents emergency contact information with you. Most importantly, your home and valuables are things. Your first priority is always to keep yourself and your family safe. Everything else can be replaced, you cant.

Pinellas County is committed to transparent and accessible government, and this virtual state of the county message is part of an ongoing effort to share important information with you, Pinellas County citizens, on the important issues facing our community and to encourage your feedback, Welch said by way of an introduction. He then spent nearly 18 minutes talking about the work done by the commission in the first quarter of 2013. He also outlined some of the countys biggest challenges including the budget, public transportation and the high-cost of poverty. The last few years have been challenging for many in our community, including your county government, Welch said. However, Im pleased to report to you that despite the challenges weve faced, our opportunities for progress are even greater, and the state of Pinellas County is strong. Moving our community forward will require vision, more collaboration and a strategic holistic approach to building a stronger community. Welch provided an update on the strategic planning the commission has been working on for the past four years and progress toward improving delivery of core services. He highlighted some of the actions taken during the first quarter of 2013, including returning fluoride to the drinking water supply on March 1, approving Tampa Bays first countywide domestic partnership registry and a resolution of intent to place a referendum on the 2014 general election ballot for a penny sales tax to pay for public transportation improvements. Welch said voters would decide whether to eliminate the current property tax that pays for Pinellas Suncoast Transit Authority and replace it with a countywide penny sales tax. He said revenue from a sales tax would allow PSTA to dramatically improve our transportation system, including faster, more flexible, more frequent bus service, light rail service connecting Clearwater, St. Petersburg and the Gateway area, regional connections to Tampa and other destinations, and other projects that will improve mobility in our county. Welch then focused on the need for more collaboration between local governments and other county stakeholders to take on the more complex issues. He said an approach was needed that moves beyond the silos of government and community services to encompass everyone governments, nonprofits, businesses, neighborhoods, families, faith-based organizations and others to best serve the needs. In a time of reduced resources, working together beyond traditional boundaries of jurisdictions not only provides a larger pool of resources but also supports a more comprehensive set of solutions to longstanding and complex problems, which have a high cost to the entire community. Welch said the educational achievement gap, generational poverty, chronic unemployment, recidivism, substance abuse and poor health outcomes all have a tangible cost to the community. If we can lower those impacts through more effective services and prevention, we can lower the costs to the taxpayers, empower individuals and families to become financially independent and strengthen our community for the long term, he said. Welch said a good example of a collaborative approach is project Safe Harbor led by Sheriff Bob Gualtieri in partnership with the county, cities and local service providers. Safe Harbor is a homeless services project, which provides shelter for up to 400 homeless individuals, many of whom would otherwise be housed at the county jail at a much higher cost, Welch said. Welch then talked about the budget for fiscal year 2014, which begins Oct. 1. He outlined some of the hardships that came from six years of budget deficits. He said more than 1,700 jobs were cut and the general fund budget was reduced by 30 percent. In fact, the number of employees under the county administrator has been reduced by 35 percent and represents the same staffing level as it was 28 years ago in 1985. So, rest assured we are working leaner. We are working smarter. We have narrowed our services and we are doing more with less, Welch said. Still, there is a projected $12 million shortfall expected for 2014. Plans call for using the budget stabilization fund to make up the difference between projected revenues and expenses. Welch pointed out that the savings account money was one-time dollars and would not be available to help balance the budget in future years. Welch then turned his attention to what he described as one of the bright lights for our economy. Welch said, Even during the recession, Pinellas County tourism has set records for overnight visits and bed tax receipts as tourists continue to discover our world-class beaches, arts and sports venues and diverse cultural amenities. But even in this area of excellence, we must carefully invest our resources to ensure that our tourism economy continues to thrive. In 2012, more than 5.4 million tourists visited Pinellas County, producing an economic impact of more than $7 billion dollars. Welch explained that the 5 percent bed tax is charged to visitors who stay in our area hotels. Last year, the bed tax generated $28 million a record annual total. About 20 percent of the money goes to pay debt service on Tropicana Field the home of the Tampa Bay Rays. Now, as you may know, the Rays have requested a future site for a new ballpark and potentially may request continued county support, Welch said. While any new park is years away, the county has initiated a much-needed dialogue with the Rays and we look forward to a broader conversation and with the city of St. Petersburg and the community as a whole. The debt service for Tropicana Field will be paid in 2015, and Welch said there is a growing list of potential project funding requests from the aquarium project in Clearwater to an Olympic BMX and spring training facilities. The extra money may be needed to pay for beach nourishment as federal and state funding is reduced. The needs are many and the funding source is limited, Welch said. Like all of our investments, we must analyze the needs carefully and maximize the return on investment of bed tax dollars in the best long-term interest of our community. Welch encouraged Pinellas County citizens to get involved. He urged them to visit the countys website, www.pinellascounty.org, for information or to interact with officials. Whether you would like to weigh-in on our upcoming budget, or comment on what transportation improvements youd like to see, or simply share an idea for improving our community, your commission welcomes your thoughts and suggestions and we value your perspective, Welch said. The state of the county message is on PCC-TV at noon, 6:30 p.m. and 10:30 p.m. on weekdays; 12:30 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. on weekends. PCC-TV is available on Bright House Networks Channel 622, Verizon Channel 44 and Knology Channel 18. Tampa Bay Newspapers: All rights reserved www.tbnweekly.com

He has since filed another appeal with the United States 11th Circuit Court of Appeals, according to information from the Forgiveness Foundation. Larry Eugene Mann, 59, was found guilty March 19, 1981 of kidnapping and murdering a 10-yearold Palm Harbor girl. A judge sentenced him to death on March 21. Since that time, Mann has filed a series of appeals, and his sentence was overturned and reinstated twice. His execution date in 1986 was stayed. Gov. Rick Scott signed a second execution order March 1. Mann is scheduled to be executed by lethal injection at 6 p.m. April 10 at the Florida State Prison near Raiford. If his latest appeal proves unsuccessful, Manns execution will come 32 years and five months after he murdered Elisa Nelson on Nov. 4, 1980. According to arrest records, Elisa was riding her bicycle to school the day Mann kidnapped her. She was late due to a dentist appointment and carried a note from her mother explaining her absence. When she didnt show up for school, authorities began a search, which turned up her bicycle later the same day in a ditch about a mile away from the school. Searchers found Elisas body the next day in a nearby orange grove. Cause of death was a blow to the head by a cement-encased steel pipe found next to her body. There were no signs of molestation, according to the Medical Examiner. Records show that Mann attempted suicide the day he murdered Elisa. He reportedly told police who responded that he had done something stupid and needed help. Manns wife found the bloodstained note that Elisas mom had written to excuse her daughter from being late to school in her husbands truck Nov. 8, 1980. Law enforcement also found a bloodstain with Elisa and Manns blood types in the truck. Mann was arrested on Nov. 10, 1980. Larry Eugene Mann Visit www.TBNweekly.com Police beatStore clerk arrested for selling K-2ST. PETE BEACH Pinellas County Sheriffs detectives arrested a convenience store clerk April 2 after he sold K-2 spice items containing the chemical XLR-11 to an undercover narcotics detective. The arrest is the first of its kind for the Pinellas County Sheriffs Office under the Attorney Generals emergency order, which banned this chemical substance. Nadeem Malik, 40, of St. Pete Beach was arrested at the Sunshine Food and Gifts convenience store, 6880 Gulf Blvd. in St. Pete Beach. According to the sheriffs report, detectives received information that illegal substances were being sold at the St. Pete Beach convenience store. On Jan. 9 and 11, a clerk, identified as Malik, sold K-2/spice items to an undercover Pinellas County Narcotics detective. The substances were sent to the Medical Examiners Forensic Lab for analysis. The substances were determined to be a Schedule One controlled substance, specifically XLR11. On April 2, detectives returned to the store to arrest Malik. While in the store, Malik voluntarily surrendered four large freezer bags containing different types of potpourri items. The items were concealed behind the counter, inside a garbage can under a large garbage bag. During the interview, Malik told deputies that he sells the substances at the direction of the storeowner. Malik was arrested for two counts of sales and possession of a controlled substance and possession with intent to sell a controlled substance. He was booked into the Pinellas County Jail. He was released on $34,000 bond the same day. Among the items surrendered were 104 small canisters of the same K-2 spice purchased by the undercover detective; 29 additional canisters with a different date and with a disclaimer stating it complied with current legal guidelines; and 122 foil packages containing similar substances. The substances were sent to the lab for analysis. The approximate value of the items is $2,280. The investigation continues.Nineteen arrested at sobriety checkpointCLEARWATER Pinellas County Sheriffs Office and Clearwater Police Department conducted a sobriety checkpoint at Clearwater High School, 540 S. Hercules Ave., April 5-6. Nineteen people were arrested, 12 vehicles impounded and 27 citations were issued. Average intrusion time was 2 minutes, 21 seconds. Eight were arrested for driving under the influence, five for driving with a suspended or revoked drivers license, two for driving without a valid license and another for driving in violation of a drivers license restriction Several were charged with drug violations including one charge of possession of alprazolam, four for possession of marijuana, one for possession of vyvanse, one for drug possession without a prescription, one for possession of crystal meth and one for possession of drug paraphernalia. One person provided a false name to law enforcement, one refused to obey a lawful command and one person was arrested on a warrant for a probation violation. Deputies conduct a sobriety checkpoint once a month at various locations around Pinellas as part of a program to reduce DUI related injuries.

He further stated the detention deputies grabbed him by his feet, picked him up by his feet, held his feet against the wall and held him upside down on top of his head. An investigation was conducted into Nikolics allegations. Another deputy testified that he was able to see the sergeant in the holding cell the entire time; and that at no time did he witness the sergeant have any physical contact with Nikolic. He further testified he never saw the detention deputy physically approach Nikolic. A Pinellas County Jail nurse who examined Nikolic immediately after the alleged incident and two hours later also testified that she checked his head and ankles for injuries and found none. Deputies said following his release from jail, Nikolic went to a local hospital and attempted to have a doctor diagnose him with a concussion. The doctor found no evidence of a concussion. Through their investigation and the evidence found in this case, deputies determined that Nikolic lied in his testimony and falsely accused the detention deputies of battery. He was charged with one count of false report of a crime and one count of perjury in an official proceeding. He was released on $2,150 surety bond April 1.Teacher arrested for abuseCLEARWATER Clearwater Police arrested a teacher at Skycrest Elementary School on March 21 for child abuse, according to a Clearwater Police Facebook report. During the course of an investigation, Clearwater detectives determined that Melanie Fox, 44, of Clearwater allegedly abused two special needs students a 6-yearold girl and an 8-year-old boy. The allegations include kicking and pulling the girls hair, hitting her with a book and binding her hands with tape. The suspect is also facing charges for pushing the boy down and binding his hands with a rubber band. Fox was released from the Pinellas County Jail on $20,000 bond.Vehicles burglarizedCLEARWATER There were several vehicle burglaries on Narcissus Avenue, Lantana Avenue and Bay Esplanade on Clearwater Beach March 18, according to a Clearwater Police Facebook report. All of the vehicles were unlocked and items of opportunity were targeted, such as GPS devices and loose change. Though the police department is pursuing several viable suspects in these incidents, the department also reminds the public to always lock vehicles, take keys with them and secure their belongings. If anyone has information regarding these incidents, contact the police anonymously by texting the tip to TIP411 or online at www.clearwatearpolice.com or on the submit-atip tab at www.facebook.com/clear waterpolice.Witnesses help lead to arrestsCLEARWATER Witnesses reports of suspicious activity has led to arrests, according to a Clearwater Police Facebook report. In the first case, a person reported two people leaving the rear of a closed business at 1343 Cleveland St. around 6:32 p.m. Officers responded and arrested David Velez, 22, of Clearwater and Jeanette Echevarria, 29, a Clearwater transient. According to police, they had forced the door open and entered the business. Velez was charged with criminal mischief and was released on his own recognizance. Echevarria was charged with burglary of an unoccupied structure and is being held at the Pinellas County Jail in lieu of $5,000 bond. In the second incident, two people contacted Clearwater police after seeing a man trying to open cars in the parking lot at 521 S. Gulfview Blvd. Officers found Dino Duratovic, 21, of Clearwater sitting in the drivers seat of the vehicle that he was burglarizing, the report said. When he saw officers, he allegedly discarded a bag of drugs. He was arrested and charged with burglary of an unoccupied conveyance, possession of a controlled substance MDMA, and violation of parole for possession of a controlled substance Xanax. He is being held at the Pinellas County Jail. Bond for the first two charges was set for $6,000. No bond was set for the violation of parole.Bicyclist injured on Belcher RoadLARGO Traffic Homicide Investigators from the Largo Police Department began investigating a bicycle crash at the intersection of Belcher and Ulmerton roads the morning of April 2. An adult male bicyclist was traveling westbound across Belcher Road at Ulmerton Road, headed toward the CVS, at around 7:59 a.m. On the north side of the intersection, he was struck by a Dodge Neon traveling southbound on Belcher Road, according to police. The bicyclist was seriously injured and flown to an area hospital. The single occupant of the Dodge Neon was not injured. The intersection of Belcher and Ulmerton roads was shut down for a couple of hours while police investigated the scene. Aprils checkpoint was dedicated to Steven Thillard. On October 10, 2006, the 23 year old was a passenger in a vehicle driven by 24-yearold Matthew Ferguson. Ferguson traveled into oncoming traffic in the area of Ridge Road and Eighth Avenue in Largo, causing a head on collision. Thillard suffered severe head trauma and had several brain surgeries as a result. Ferguson was impaired at the time of the accident.Man injured in fall from rooftopMADEIRA BEACH A Clearwater man was injured March 29 when he fell or jumped from the roof of a garage at Johns Pass in Madeira Beach. Pinellas County sheriffs deputies responded to a call just after midnight at 177 Boardwalk Place in Madeira Beach. According to deputies, Nicholas Voutsinas, 31, and a friend had climbed up to a restricted roof area of the parking garage (about seven stories high) to get a better view of the city. The friend decided to come down while Voutsinas remained. Deputies say by the time the friend reached the ground floor, Voutsinas was already laying in the roadway. The fall rendered Voutsinas unconscious. He was transported by air to Bayfront Medical Center for treatment of serious injuries. He sustained multiple fractures to his face, leg and pelvis and was in stable condition as of April 1. Deputies say Voutsinas had alcohol in his system. They said it was unclear whether he fell or jumped. The investigation continues.Former jail inmate arrested for perjuryCLEARWATER A former inmate of the Pinellas County Jail was arrested April 1 for perjury after he falsely claimed detention deputies had battered him. The suspect alleged the incident occurred at the Pinellas County Jail following his arrest for disorderly intoxication by the St. Petersburg Police Department on Oct. 7, 2012. According to investigators with the Sheriffs administrative investigation division, Chad Everett Nikolic, 31, of St. Petersburg provided a sworn, court reported statement to the Sheriffs AID Oct. 30, 2012, in which he alleged that after being handcuffed and shackled he was left to sit in a holding cell. He stated that a detention sergeant and deputy entered the cell and committed a battery against him. According to investigators, while under oath, Nikolic alleged that theMan arrested after shooting at police By JULIANA A. TORRESLARGO A Largo police officer and a 19-year-old man wanted for two robberies exchanged shots before the suspect ran away March 21. After an overnight search, Pinellas County Sheriffs deputies arrested Terry Lamar James of Clearwater around 10 a.m. March 22 in Pinellas Park. Largo police had a warrant for his arrest in reference to two recent home invasion robberies. At around 9:20 p.m. March 21, officers arrived at 6301 144th Street N. in unincorporated Largo looking for James. Sheriffs Office deputies assisted as the officers set up a perimeter around the house and attempted to contact James. At around 11:17 p.m., James ran from the rear of the house. During the brief contact he made with a Largo police officer at the back of the house, both fired their weapons. The officer was not injured and James, whose injuries were unknown at the time, fled the scene. The next day, the Sheriffs Office received a tip on where James might be and set up surveillance at the Suburban Lodge Motel on Ulmerton Road. After a suspicious vehicle arrived at the motel, deputies followed it until it eventually pulled into the parking lot of Sacred Heart Catholic Church on 82nd Avenue and 46th Street in Pinellas Park, according to the sheriffs report. The suspect and two other people in the vehicle realized that they were being watched by deputies and got out of the car, the Sheriffs Office reported. Deputies chased James as he ran into a residential neighborhood and caught up with him a short distance away. Detectives said that the suspect began inciting them to shoot him. Deputies deployed an electronic control device to subdue James, according to the sheriffs report. He was taken into custody without further incident. He is charged with the two previous counts of home invasion robbery. The Sheriffs Office interviewed the other two individuals who were in the car with James. They were not arrested. PSCO will head the investigation of the March 21 shooting, which occurred in their jurisdiction. The identity of the Largo officer involved has not been released to preserve the integrity of the investigation, department spokesperson Lt. Mike Loux said. As dictated by department policy, the officer has been placed on paid administrative leave. James was booked into the Pinellas County Jail just after 3 p.m. March 22. He was charged with violation of probation for a prior charge for selling cocaine, attempted murder of a law enforcement officer, felon in possession of a firearm and home invasion robbery.Suzette Porter contributed to this report.

Nava Yoga Studio is open at 5901 Sun Blvd., Suite 120, St. Petersburg. Nava owners and yoga instructors Wendy Lester, 43, and Joanna Bilgutay Ozkaya, 32, met two years ago. Both women had stressful business careers and were looking for a healthy way to deal with lifes hectic pace and challenges. They found it through the practice of yoga. Di Tyssen, an international yoga trainer, encouraged them to take her certification course required to teach yoga. While holding down full-time jobs and tending to their families, Lester and Ozkaya spent every weekend training with Tyssen and earned their teaching certificates in two years. They learned the yoga postures, along with the philosophy and benefits of balancing mind, body and spirit. Anyone wanting to improve their physical, mental and overall well-being can do yoga. It is wonderful to have people come here to try their first yoga class and really enjoy the practice, Lester said in a press release. Yoga invigorates the body, promotes wellness, improves coordination, balance, concentration, endurance and flexibility. Nava Yoga Studio offers classes seven days a week for every level.

Unfortunately, the shenanigans with labeling dont end there. There are many words pet food companies use that sound as though they should mean something but simply do not. The FDA, or Food and Drug Administration, does have specific rules about what a pet food label can say, but these rules can be confusing. The FDA defines that a can of pet food labeled chicken for cats has to be 95 percent chicken by weight, which sounds good. However, a food labeled chicken formula for cats has only to be 25 percent chicken. This can be a problem for people trying to avoid certain ingredients for their pets because of food allergies. That expensive bag of salmon and red lentil formula only has to be 25 percent salmon and red lentils; the rest can be anything. The word with is defined by the FDA as at least 3 percent; the can of cat food with chicken only has to contain 3 percent chicken. While with seems anemic by FDA standards, it is robust compared to how they define flavor. By FDA standards, chicken flavor cat foods only has to contain an essence of chicken that is detectable. There are dogs trained to determine if a product is present in a food, similar to trained drug sniffing dogs, so the actual amount may be infinitesimally small. With all these specific percentages defined by the FDA, they have also defined what percent means. By the FDA rules, percent means 95 percent. Yes, you did read that correctly. Premium pet foods sound impressive, and many come with a premium price tag as well. The FDA has no legal definition of the word premium, super-premium or gourmet, which means that these word can be put on ANY dog or cat food label, no matter how terrible they may be. Holistic is a popular, though misused, term on many pet foods. The concept of holistic medicine was supposed to mean that all things were taken into consideration with a patient, including diet, exercise, supplements and even mental state, as opposed to the just take a pill mentality that is becoming more and more prevalent. Holistic on dog or cat food means ... nothing. Anyone can put it on any label, even if the food is entirely synthetic and unnatural. Another popular and entirely meaningless pet food term is human-grade. According to the FDA, this phrase has no meaning. Human-edible means a food that people could eat, but human-grade can be placed on any pet food no matter what is inside of the bag or can.A pet food manufacturer is also not allowed to make health claims unless it would apply to any normal pet receiving an adequate diet. That food that claims to promote healthy skin or promote glossy coat can only make those claims if any pet receiving an adequate food would have those qualities. In essence, those phrases mean absolutely nothing. We have still only skimmed the very surface of how inadequate and bad pet food labels are. Shoppers should be wary; the super-premium, gourmet, human-grade buffalo flavor dinner for a healthy coat may not be worth the super premium gourmet price it costs, nor may it be any better for your four legged loved one.Michael J. Rumore, DVM, is the owner of Lake Seminole Animal Hospital in Largo and a former SPCA Tampa Bay board member.Pets of the month Mastiff buddiesCongratulations to Dani and Billy for winning TBNs April Pet of the Month prize. These adorable mastiff puppies belong to Amanda Hunt of Seminole and come from the same breeder in Minnesota, though they were adopted at different times. Dani is now 5 months old and Billy is 3 months. Angela fell in love with mastiffs after watching Turner and Hooch, even though she admits that Hooch was actually a French mastiff. She and her husband have now owned seven mastiffs, always two at a time. Dani is their first brindle mastiff and has a mischievous side to her. Before Billy, Dani had temporarily had an older mastiff sister, but it turned out that she is aggressive around other dogs and would do best being the only furry queen of the house.She has since found another loving home where there are no other pets and her new parents are working to tame her aggression. That situation opened the door for the Hunts to find Billy. Danis breeder had sent the Hunts a letter, saying there had been another litter and one of the little boys was blind in one eye. The breeder thought the Hunts would provide the perfect home for this special boy and that Dani would be a wonderful big sister. Although Billy will soon lose his bad eye, he is adapting well, and he and Dani are the best of friends. Over the years, Angelas dogs have helped her dive into photography, and for about a year now, she has volunteered with the SPCA Tampa Bay to do their photographs. Angela has always loved animals, and now they have taught her to t ake pictures as well. The Hunts and their mastiff pair have won a $25 gift certificate to Largo Feed and Garden Supply in either Largo or Pinellas Park. Send your pet photos to Alexandra Lundahl at alundahl@TBNWeekly.com.

Community engagement was essential to provide a comprehensive view of health and quality of life in Pinellas, said Claude M. Dharamraj, director of the countys health department. We found that we exceeded expectations in some areas and need work in others. According to a press release, the assessment included information from more than 800 residents, who completed a survey on how they feel about Pinellas as a place to live. The surveys were conducted over five weeks in June and July 2012. The assessment identified a number of areas that need improvement. One area was affordability of health care with 16 percent of the countys adults reporting they were unable to afford a doctor visit in 2010. Information in the executive summary said of the 841 people surveyed, 55.1 percent said they had private health insurance and 19 percent had Medicaid. Twenty percent said they had no insurance or were unable to afford health care. Obesity continues to be a problem affecting more than two-thirds of the population. Pinellas County has fewer obese adults than the nation and state; however, the combined percentage of adults who were either obese or overweight was 65.6 percent higher than the national rate of 63.9 percent and state at 65 percent. Cancer was the top cause of death in 2011 at 22.8 percent, followed closely by heart disease at 22.7 percent. Officials said the death rate for heart disease had decreased slightly in the past 10 years; however, the rate of decrease for blacks was slower than the rate for whites. Lung cancer was the leading cause of cancer deaths, followed by breast cancer and prostate cancer. Death rates for breast cancer, melanoma, cervical and lung cancer increased between 2000 and 2011. Nineteen percent of the countys adults smoke cigarettes. The health assessment compared Pinellas to the state in a variety of areas. Among the areas where they county led the state was sexually transmitted diseases with 3,327 per 100,000 women ages 15 to 34 contracting a STD compared to 2,603 per 100,000 statewide. Pinellas had a domestic violence rate of 772.8 per 100,000 compared to 605 per 100,000 for the state. The countys child abuse rate was 1,876 per 100,000 and the state rate was 1,145 per 100,000. Pinellas suicide rate for the years 20092011 was 17.7 per 100,000 compared to 13.8 per 100,000 statewide. The rate was highest among white males ages 45 to 60. The infant death rate for the years 2009-2011 was higher in Pinellas than the state. Black infants were three times more likely to die in the first year of life than white infants were. Pinellas had 7.9 per thousand live births compared to 6.6 per thousand statewide and the percent of low birth rates was 8.6 percent compared to 8.7 percent for the state. In 2010, 153 babies were born addicted to prescription or illegal drugs, up from only 22 in 2005. One piece of good news was that 85.5 percent of people surveyed believe their community is safe, and 83.3 percent said Pinellas is a good place to raise children. The geographic area with the highest ratings was north Pinellas and the lowest came from south Pinellas. Survey participants were asked to name three factors most important to a healthy community. The top responses were access to care, healthy behaviors and a clean environment. They also said addiction was the No. 1 health concern, followed by obesity and chronic diseases. Alcohol and drug abuse was the behavior of most concern with poor nutrition coming in second followed by a lack of physical activity. The state DOH has put together a Community Health Action Team charged with developing strategies for a 2013-2017 Community Health Improvement Plan, which must be completed by July 1. Residents who want to provide feedback or need more information can call the health department at 824-6900, ext. 4667.

Viewpoints 17A Seminole Beacon, April 11, 2013For a state that prides itself on having so much sunshine, Florida is regarded as a giant Petri dish. Look through the microscope and a major source of the problem is easily identified Tallahassee. Say it isnt so. Two well-respected open-government advocates gave troubling accounts of the assault on public access to information at the third annual Sunshine Summit March 16 at St. Petersburg Colleges Seminole campus. A public integrity section of the U.S. Department of Justice compiles a jolly list of the most corrupt states in the nation, said author and political commentator Diane Roberts. Guess who was number one? Yup. The Sunshine State. Can you believe we beat New Jersey? We beat Illinois. OK. Think about that, the most public official corruption in the country. But how on earth, given our great open government laws, do we get to a place where weve got all this bad stuff, often illegal stuff, going on? Roberts said. Somebody has to say wait a minute, you cant do that, she said. That would be the states First Amendment Foundation, the press and the public because the state doesnt have an agency to enforce open government laws. Other watchdogs have stuck their noses in the Petri dish, including a collaborative project called the State Integrity Investigation, which gave Florida a grade of D+ in public access to information. The list goes on. There are many atrocities to list on open government, Roberts said. Sadly, a shrinking press corps, as we in the newspaper business know all to well, has made holding officials accountable more difficult. The press remains energetic, but smaller. Capital bureaus used to have lots of people in them. Now they either have fewer people or they are not there at all, Roberts said. Floridas First Amendment Foundation President Barbara Petersen echoed Roberts remarks, providing several examples of governments denying people access to public information in a timely manner, charging outrageous fees for records reproduction and refusing to let people speak at meetings. Easy pickings are the governors office. Petersen said she will miss for the entertainment factor Gov. Rick Scotts former minister of truth, Press Secretary Brian Burgess. Petersens favorite Burgess quote was a response to a reporter from one of the largest papers in the state who was denied access for documents that were clearly public records. When she asked why, he said, theyre not ready for prime time. Theres a new statutory exemption. The not-ready-for prime-time exemption, Petersen said. She also gave several examples of Sunshine Law abuse at the local levels. The Boynton Beach Police Department, for example, accepts public records requests only on Wednesdays. Random rules and conditions that operate as barriers to our constitutional rights of access, Petersen said. The sad truth is too often we dont push back. If there is a positive note, Petersen believes lawmakers will pass legislation this year requiring governments to allow citizens to speak at their meetings. This is the No. 1 complaint from citizens, she said. Among the issues the foundation will be looking at next year are fees for public records. She said it will be difficult because local governments will fight against reform on fees. Governments agencies should be able to recover the cost of providing public records. They should not be in the income generating column, she said. She found out that the city of Orlando charges $564 an hour for computer run time. Their definition of extensive is five minutes or more, she said. No other local government in the area charges for computer run time. Whos going to pay that? Somethings got to give. The law says 15 cents a page or the actual cost of duplication. So why is an agency charging $10 for a CD? That CD should cost 35 cents, she said. When we asked the city of Naples why they are charging $10 for a CD, they said Well everybody else does. That doesnt make it right. The city changed its policy, but the extensive use fee needs to be revised, she said. Software is available that will allow for the cost-effective redaction of exempt information. Why arent we taking advantage of these technologies? she said. All this is a strong indication that our state lawmakers continue to place a low priority on open government. Consequently they put a low priority on good government. Thats life in the prime time Petri dish.Tom Germond is executive editor of Tampa Bay Newspapers. Email tgermond@TBNweek ly.com. Tom Germond Are you frustrated? Has your career stalled? Is your life not what youd like it to be? Then maybe its because you lack vision and passion. Todays culture is crawling with references to vision and passion. The talk shows, the wise-person interviews, TV and print advertisements they are loaded with the importance of vision and passion. So you and I better hop aboard that train right now. You may ask, Just what is vision? What is passion? Vision used to go by several names: planning, having a blueprint, a marketing strategy, a dream for the future, hope, looking ahead. We all did one or more of those things, and somehow the job got done. But then the bright boys on Madison Avenue said, We need a new buzzword that makes us seem smarter than we are. Lets try VISION! Today a candidate cannot be elected president or dogcatcher unless he/she describes the vision he has for the office. A new manager of a major league baseball team is asked, What is your vision for the team? Dont bore us with facts about your pitching rotation. Talk about vision! Henry Dorgg, a pharmacist in Arlo, Kansas, decides to open a new drugstore, the first one in town. He does all the right things. He chooses a good location on Main Street; he buys the best equipment; he hires trained personnel; he joins the Chamber of Commerce; he charges reasonable prices. But a year later, he shuts down. Why does he fail? The bright-boys verdict: He had no vision. Twenty years ago job applicants were routinely asked, Where do you see yourself five years from now? A perfectly good question. But in todays job interviews the question is What is your vision for yourself, the company, the universe? I recently learned that at least one publishing expert is telling all would-be novelists, You and/or your novel must have a vision, if it is to succeed. As I try to comprehend that advice, Ill be wondering whether Tolstoy, Faulkner, Updike, Hemingway and other major writers asked themselves What is my vision for this novel? each time they took pen in hand. Now lets turn to another buzzword that swept into town a few years ago and is still ultra-fashionable: passion. To paraphrase an old song: You aint got a thing if you aint got that passion. The old expressions indicating enthusiasm have fallen by the wayside in todays conversations. No longer is it groovy to say I love Bruce Springsteen. My brother is wild about soccer. My sister is really into Etruscan history. Thats old-fashioned phraseology. Today youd better slip at least a couple of passions into your narrative or no one will take you seriously. In 2013, if youre not passionate about something (preferably everything), your friends may think youre in a coma. And dont forget to say how excited you are (even if you really arent). Im so excited to be here at the Rotary Club luncheon. Is there room in the world for persons who do NOT have a list of overwhelming passions to set forth on their resumes and (ultimately) in their obituaries? Im thinking of people who as they move through life take quiet enjoyment from one, two or twenty different interests and pursuits, but who cannot truthfully say, Oh, yes, I have a passion for bowling, and for watching Dr. Phil. Another of my passions is collecting hummels. Do YOU have passions you want to tell me about? Oh, lets swap passions! Over-using terms like vision and passion is one big way in which language is cheapened. Without really thinking about it, we permit ourselves to be sucked into using lazy, imprecise, catch-all words. They allow us to lurch forward linguistically without having to expend time and thought choosing exactly the word thats needed. But I could be wrong. Maybe those people who seem to possess all those passions are telling the truth. Maybe theyre sincere in the depth of their feelings and enthusiasms. If so, I wish them well. I wish them the opportunity and energy to chase their passions as far as they can. And I envy them, I suppose. Although Ive had a fairly interesting life and my share of adventures, most of the time Ive avoided the whole-hog, dive-in-head-first, damn-the-torpedoes approach that so many passionate people later describe, if and when they live to tell about it. I admire the ones Ive met, but many of them have been a royal pain in the neck to know well, or even to talk to.Bob Driver is a former columnist and editorial page editor for the Clearwater Sun.

Shiett Phone: 727-397-5563LETTERS Drivers SeatBob Driver An assault on access to informationPinellas County stormwater tax who benefits?Editor: We do not support a Pinellas County tax, which would continue its flawed, piecemeal stormwater management. For 30 years, the county has denied remediation and maintenance to private stormwater ponds, which they use for public benefit. They are at the heart of the system, since they feed into larger lakes and influence their water quality. That the county wants to tax us and offer us only a new version of the ineffective Adopt-a-Pond program is outrageous. There is a difference between looking at the bigger scope and looking at big things, such as Lake Walsingham. They may be the 800-pound gorillas in the room, but lakes like Lake Sylvia are vital to comprehensive stormwater management we are the 800 onepound gorillas. Master plans make recommendations how to achieve overall goals. The County will never develop effective recommendations by ignoring these hundreds of lakes. It is one ecosystem. Over the last 30 years, the county helped Lake Sylvia residents only once, to remove algae and plant some plants, which they promised to maintain but never did. The county policy of maintenance of stormwater ponds is the responsibility of the local community that benefits from it, which includes many more homeowners than just those around Lake Sylvia. The Adopt-a-Pond program only succeeded in transferring the financial burden that belongs to the community at large onto the few of us. This one-time plant and forget about it approach is not responsible ongoing maintenance for stormwater ponds. Plants alone are in no way sufficient to solve the basic problems of privately owned lakes used by the county as public stormwater ponds. Beneficial plants do not address pollutants such as litter, motor oil, gasoline, pesticides, pet waste, and sediment. Only after stormwater retrofitting, catching pollutants before they reach the lake, and sediment removal is done does it make sense to plant the lake. Water follows the laws of nature, not of discrete political entities. Any future cosmetic Adopt-a-Pond, version 2.0 for private lakes, which are used for public benefit, will not be effective. Perpetuating this failed approach will only hurt citizens and our environment for the next 30 years. For Pinellas County to solve the problem, they need to integrate all the elements of the stormwater system public and private, large and small lakes in a single plan. John Reyner SeminoleKudos for green recertificationEditor, I would like to congratulate Pinellas County for being the first county in the state to achieve a Florida Green Local Government recertification. Pinellas County had been the first jurisdiction in the state to receive the Green Local Government designation in 2006 when it achieved the silver level. I hope the city of Seminole also will establish long-term sustainability efforts in each of its departments. Seminole needs to develop, establish, and maintain its direction for long-term sustainability plans. Perhaps, the city should work more closely with Pinellas County Extension Urban Sustainability resources, such as agent Ramona Madhosingh-Hector. I would also like to applaud the efforts of local Seminole citizens, Mary Ann Kirk and Bob Huttick, who have taken Extension courses of Sustainable Floridians and Nutrition. These citizens are also wonderful role models through their leadership role of our only Seminole Community Garden, and their membership in Seminoles Tree Advisory Committee. Thank you, Pinellas County, for leading the way to helping all municipalities to upgrade its use of sustainable practices.

I understand Mayor Katica and the commissioners have approved a couple traffic circles on Indian Rocks Road at taxpayer expense thinking that may reduce traffic volume. But have they tried less expensive and less permanent alternatives first? Im not sure about that. I believe a townwide speed limit of 25 mph should be implemented and rigorously enforced. Belleair is strictly a residential community, and every residential community (several) I have lived in, 25 mph was the norm. This allowed residents to safely walk/bicycle on the streets. And there are five entrances to Belleair. Why not put the hated speed bumps in place at those locations? Both may convince pass through drivers to go elsewhere with minimal Belleair taxpayer expense. Both of these things are certainly cheaper than the traffic circles, which if put in place, and do not achieve the desired traffic reduction, then what? Remove them also at taxpayer expense? I have neighbors that are in favor of speed bumps and speed reduction to 25 mph. I drive at that speed on my street out of consideration for those living here. I hope other residents do the same. The mayor does not think a 5 mph speed reduction will accomplish much. I think it will improve safety and possibly reduce traffic, both beneficial. As a resident of Belleair, I want to see improved street safety, and a reduction in unnecessary traffic volume, in conjunction with smart town road planning and tax spending. I dont see that happening. If any Belleair readers are of a like mind, then you should speak up and tell the mayor and commissioners your thoughts. They are supposed to work for us town of Belleair residents. Ross Whitaker BelleairGreat event needs more parkingEditor: As an Indian Rocks Beach property owner and part-time resident, I wanted to offer my praise and congratulations to the organizers of Green Fest, and especially to coordinator Christy Ward. How exciting that the event keeps growing. Apparently the only blemish was a lack of parking (though IRB does allow on-street parking, so all was well). I hope we all see the irony in this so-called problem at an eco-friendly Green Fest. Perhaps the goal should be to reduce the need for more parking by encouraging carpools, shuttles, and having more people walk and bicycle to future events. Maybe a bike parking area could help? Thanks again, and heres to a successful and eco-friendly 2014! Diane Daniel Durham, N.C.Thanks to supportersEditor: Many thanks to all the good folks who were so kind to us in the recent city of Seminole local election. We finished in third place for the first time, with more votes than the previous election. And we did it the old-fashioned way, we earned your vote. We did not buy it. Traditionally, we pay for the filing fees and associated costs, about $200. Last year the successful candidate spent that much per vote received, of about $30,000. We have not seen the final financials for this recent election, but are aware that the incumbents spent large amounts of money again. It just does not seem logical that anyone would have to spend that kind of money to get elected here in Seminole. Again, many thanks to all who gave their time and talent to an open, honest effort. Thanks to all who allowed us to place our signs on their properties. And a special thanks to all the good folks who supported us with their votes. We appreciate your participation in the democratic process. And look forward to the time when folks do not have to buy their way to a seat on our City Council.

WWW.COMFORTKEEPERS.COM NO MATTER WHERE YOU LIVE,101812 Diane Genovese OwnerBe Your Own Best Advocate Many seniors today live alone in their communities as their children live and work in other areas. Although the children may visit often, typically they are not present when it comes time for mom or dads doctors visits or other appointments they attend for their well being. One of the most difficult things for patients, is knowing how to ask questions of a doctor. You owe it to yourself to ask these questions, especially when it comes to prescribed medications. Take a list of your current medications and vitamin intake along with you. It is important to review each drug recommended and learn of all the side effects that are a possibility. Because time is limited it is important to make a list of any questions you have pertaining to your health so you are sure to get your answers before walking out the door. Jot down the answers if you fear you may not remember them. Invite a friend or caregiver you trust to go along with you for support. This person does not need to speak for you but their presence may ensure that someone is caring for you. This relative or friend can help you remember the key points made by your doctor. If you're not sure you understand what is happening, ask questions until you feel comfortable. It is important to know all of your options when diagnosed with a problem. If tests are recommended, be sure to ask what they entail so you are comfortable if you choose to go forward with them. Learn if there are side effects to these tests. It is quite normal to feel worried about speaking frankly with your doctor, but your doctor will be able to be more sensitive to your needs if you inform him of your concerns. He or she is there to help you with all of your medical concerns. It is important to be assertive and to gather all the knowledge you can regarding your health. Communicate openly in your effort to receive the right health care.

Community 19A Around PinellasCity to pass prostitution ordinanceLARG0 The Largo Police Department is hoping that a proposed ordinance will allow them to arrest more prostitutes working local street corners. We received numerous community complaints typically in the Clearwater-Largo Road corridor for working, street-level prostitutes, police Sgt. Michael Bruno explained to the Largo Commission April 2. Commissioners gave their initial approval of a measure that makes certain habits and behaviors of prostitutes illegal within Largos city limits. Currently, investigators are bound by the standards of the state statute. That means police have two ways of making an arrest for prostitution. First, they can watch suspected prostitutes, wait for a John to pick them up, stop his vehicle and hope that someone in the car admits to exchanging money for sex. If were unable to get an admission from one or both of those parties, were really unable to take enforcement action under the state statute, Bruno said. The second method involves an undercover police officer witnessing the solicitation firsthand. Most of the prostitutes that work this area have been arrested multiple times, often by us multiple times, Bruno said. We have to convince them that were not working with law enforcement. To screen the potential client, prostitutes will ask an undercover officer to either touch them inappropriately or expose himself inappropriately. Which of course, were not going to do, Bruno said. That typically ends our ability to enforce the state statute at that point because they will not discuss with us the necessary elements needed to make a prostitution case. Instead, the proposed ordinance allows officers to make an arrest if they observe a suspect doing at least three of a list of behaviors associated with prostitution. These behaviors include, among others, repeatedly stopping pedestrians, repeatedly hailing drivers and gesturing to, touching or exposing private areas. The suspect must have a prior conviction or have pleaded no contest to a prostitution charge within the last two years in order for an officer to make the arrest. Under the proposed ordinance, police also can arrest a suspect if she asks an undercover officer to expose himself or touch her inappropriately, essentially making the common screening process illegal. Admitting his own naivety on the subject, Commission Michael Smith asked what the department was doing to convince the Johns and pimps involved in prostitution. Bruno said the department conducted separate undercover operations, usually with a female officer, to go after the other side of the problem. This ordinance wouldnt really do much to go after the actual pimp that benefits from prostitution, he clarified. Smith also was concerned the ordinance would lead to the accidental arrest of someone unassociated with prostitution. We designed (the ordinance) that way specifically so we wouldnt have someone thats just flagging down a vehicle and confused, Bruno said. The cities of Clearwater, St. Petersburg and Tampa enforce similar ordinances. In particular, Largo police worked with the Clearwater Police Department to observe the effectiveness of its enforcement of the rule. Since 2008, Largos problem oriented policing unit has made 57 arrests for prostitution. The commission unanimously approved the first reading of the proposed ordinance. The second and final reading is scheduled for April 16. Juliana A. TorresMunicipal center to move forwardMADEIRA BEACH City officials emerged from a March 26 town hall session on the planned municipal center with a clear about, she said. Nelson urged the city to do the entire project. You will save money on construction and the cost of a bond issue, she said. Rosie Bailey also said she supports everything proposed. She said an outdoor fitness center and community garden should be considered. The new ball fields will bring in tournaments that can generate a lot of money for the city businesses, Armando Costello said. Steve Miller said he does not personally want the ball fields, but acknowledged their tremendous support by the community. Miller spoke of noise and lighting that impacts residents on nearby Harbor Drive. A few residents wanted the scaled-down version of the municipal center that includes the city hall and fire station only. Deby Weinstein said she is against the rec field improvements and the multi-purpose building. Im all for the kids, said former Commissioner Marv Merrill, but we already have a $550,000 recreation budget. Its not like were not doing anything. But former Commissioner Steve Kochick told the commission, If you listen to the nay-sayers, nothing will ever get done. Should we put our money into the ball fields? Damn straight we should, said Kochick. Lets get this thing done its taking way too long, said Todd Nichols. It is the commissions responsibility to act. You need to vote on this and get it done, Doug Speeler said. The commission members picked up the move on message. Palladeno said its time for the city to go forward with the project. Commissioner Terry Lister said, Sounds like the majority want to make Madeira Beach a better place to live. We have enough money for this and the other projects, so lets move it forward. Incoming commissioner and former Mayor Pat Shontz said shes for the whole project. Lets move on and get it done, she said. Vice Mayor Robin Vander Veldes call for another town meeting, on a Saturday so more residents could attend, was turned down. Commissioner Nancy Oakley was absent from the meeting. Wayne AyersIndian Shores swears in Herndon, SmithINDIAN SHORES Councilors Joan Herndon and Bill Smith were sworn in for another term at the March 26 town hall meeting. Mayor Jim Lawrence noted that, since both councilors had run unopposed, not holding a formal election saved the town $5,000. Smith was elected vice mayor for the next year. Lawrence commended Herndon on her service as vice mayor. When I think of the 16 or 17 classes (held) in this room (Community Center) every day, he said, our recreation program was conceived by you (Herndon). Committee assignments for 2013-14 will remain the same as the prior year. A plaque was presented to Councilor Steve Sutch for seven years of service, heading the Coastal Cleanup Committee, which he has agreed to continue to do. Herndon is the Public Services Committee chairman. The vice chairman is Councilor Carole Irelan and the council alternate is Smith. Janet McKee is the citizen member of the committee and the citizen alternate is Neil Rode. Lawrence is the Administrative and Finance Committee chairman and Irelan is vice chairman. The council alternate is Sutch. Art Newsome is the citizen member and Steven Uhlhorn is the citizen alternate. The towns Planning, Zoning and Building Committee is chaired by Smith. Sutch is vice chairman and Lawrence is the council alternate. John McBaine is the citizen member and alternate citizen members are Anne Miller, Pat Soranno and Fred Strahlendorf. The BIG-C voting member is Lawrence. Smith is the first alternate and Herndon is the second alternate. The canvassing board consists of Irelan, Sutch, Lawrence and town clerk Marcia Grantham. Herndon is the towns liaison to the Indian Shores Property Owners Association and Irelan will again be in charge of the boat parade. At the conclusion of the meeting, a plaque naming the towns fourth floor Community Center room in memory of Larry Nayman was dedicated. Nayman was the towns building official for 10 years until his death in 2012. Lawrence listed a litany of contributions Nayman made to the town. His (Naymans) real claim to fame is this building (Indian Shores Municipal Center), said Lawrence. He acted as general contractor for the building, saving the town thousands of dollars. Jeannie Carlson message from the large and vocal crowd attending. The consensus: Its time to end the meetings and move ahead with the project. Following presentations from the architects and financial consultants who had little new to show from previous sessions, speaker after speaker from the audience, with few exceptions, urged city commissioners and staff to go ahead and get the job done. Most favored the larger version, which adds the recreation complex and a multi-purpose center to a new city hall and fire station. The cost of that option is expected to be about $9 million. At the end of the session, most commission members agreed with Mayor Travis Palladeno when he said, Its time for the city to move forward. Discussion of building a new municipal center began nearly two years ago, and the condition of the current city hall was an issue long before that. Last May, the commission hired Wannemacher Jensen Architects of St. Petersburg to design a total makeover of the Madeira Beach city government complex on Madeira Way. At the time, architect Jason Jensen promised to come up with a vision that everyone can embrace and move forward with. Since then, multiple meetings have taken place, the project scope has expanded and contracted with the waves of public opinion, and little forward movement has been evident. After being assured by the citys financial consultant that even the largest complex being considered with a $9 million price tag is affordable, residents at the March 26 town hall session were ready to get the job done. Loud applause greeted those who urged the commission to end the meetings and start the project. Its time for the city to look forward and be progressive, said John Leeper. You have the revenue, go do it, he said. Most agreed with Peter Trott, who said he supported doing the whole thing. Trott was speaking of the municipal center option that includes a new recreation center and ball field upgrades, and a multi-purpose building in addition to a city hall and fire station. A number of younger residents with children said they favored improving the recreation complex, especially the ball fields. Little League president Dan Griffin told the commission to do the larger option. I encourage you to consider our children. They want to be a part of their community, he said. We need a new city hall and new ball fields, said Tom Laronge. We need this for our kids. The kids are our future. Kelsey Nelson, mother of a 2year-old, said the present ball fields and playgrounds are not up to par. New families are moving in. Thats what we need to worry Tampa Bay Newspapers: All rights reserved www.tbnweekly.com

Compiled by LEE CLARK ZUMPEA number of new movies will hit theaters this week, including the following films opening in wide release:Genre: Drama Cast: Chadwick Boseman, Harrison Ford, Nicole Beharie, Christopher Meloni, Andre Holland, Lucas Black, Hamish Linklater, Ryan Merriman and T.R. Knight Director: Brian Helgeland Rated: PG-13 tells the story of two men the great Jackie Robinson and trailblazing Brooklyn Dodgers GM Branch Rickey whose brave stand against prejudice forever changed the world by changing the game of baseball. In 1947, Branch Rickey put himself at the forefront of history when he signed Jackie Robinson to the Brooklyn Dodgers, breaking Major League Baseballs infamous color line. But the deal also put both Robinson and Rickey in the firing line of the public, the press and other players. Facing blatant racism from every side, even his own team, Robinson was forced to demonstrate tremendous courage and restraint by not reacting in kind, knowing that any incident could destroy his and Rickeys hopes. Instead, No. 42 let his talent on the field do the talking ultimately winning over fans and his teammates, silencing his critics, and paving the way for others to follow. In 1997, Major League Baseball retired the number 42 for all teams, making it the first number in sports to be universally retired. The only exception is every year on April 15 Jackie Robinson Day commemorating the date of his first game as a Brooklyn Dodger. On that day alone, players from every team proudly wear the number 42 to honor the man who altered the course of history.Scary Movie 5Genre: Comedy and horror Cast: Ashley Tisdale, Charlie Sheen, Lindsay Lohan, Snoop Dogg, Katt Williams, Molly Shannon, Terry Crews, Simon Rex, Jerry OConnell, Sarah Hyland, Katrina Bowden, Tyler Posey, Shad Moss aka Bow Opening this weekendScary Movie 5 features Tisdale, Sheen; Ford, Boseman star in Wow, Kate Walsh, Heather Locklear, Mac Miller and Mike Tyson Director: Malcolm Lee Rated: PG-13 The latest installment of the Scary Movie franchise includes send ups of Paranormal Activity, Mama, Sinister, The Evil Dead, Inception, Black Swan and pop culture.

Coming up it will be rock from the 1970s, as the outdoor concert series in Belleair wraps up the season on Sunday, April 14, at the Dimmitt Community Center. A tribute to the Eagles will be featured at the concert. Hotel California will be performing, and Belleair officials predict more people will attend this concert than any of the others. Tickets for the concert can be obtained at the Belleair Rec Center. Tickets are $5 in advance and $10 at the gate. The gates open at 4 p.m. and the music starts at 5 p.m. Food and beverage vendors will be on site. Right now ticket sales are higher than they were at this time before the Tams, said concert organizer Sara Borger of the recent Motown concert. Were way ahead of where we were, and the last week before the concert is when we really sell well so were expecting close to a sell-out. Hotel California as a group began in the early 1980s. Wade Hogue is one of the lead singers and a founder of the group. He said choosing to play nothing but Eagles music was not a hard decision. All Eagles music, that is all we do, he said from his home in California. We began by playing in clubs and bars but wanted to get into something that was more lasting. We wanted good music and good vocals and the Eagles was it. Hogue said it is always interesting to watch the crowd at a concert in a town where they have never performed before. I think our music exceeds expectations because people dont know what to expect, he said. But when we start playing people get hooked in and they love it. And they get up to dance; they cant help themselves. In a place like Belleair, outdoors, people can get up and have a good time. When Hotel California begins playing on Sunday it could be a little like preaching to the choir, as the old saying goes. They were chosen as the headliners for the concert not by accident. When we asked people what they wanted to hear at a concert they constantly tell us they want to hear songs that they know and they can sing, said Borger, the organizer. The demographics of Belleair are such that the Eagles were the popular band at the time, and the majority of Belleair residents want to hear that music. So we looked for a band that played that music and fit our budget and we discovered Hotel California. A tribute band is what fits the budget according to Borger. We cant get Springsteen or Elton John or the Eagles, but we can get a tribute band and it is okay. Borger said the popularity of the upcoming concert is not only measured by the ticket sales but also by companies and groups coming forward to help sponsor the event. The title sponsor of the Eagles Tribute is MaintenX, owned by Belleair resident Pat OHara. As for the size of the crowd expected, Borger said despite the demand, it will be limited. We had 2,200 people here for the Tams, she said. We arent going to sell any more than 3,000 tickets to any concert even though we could fit in more people. We want to maintain the small town feel of the concerts, make it easy to navigate. And it is working; there is more and more interest each time. This isnt the first time in the Bay area for Hotel California. They recently played at the Florida State Fair in Tampa and for the past eight years have played at Disneys Epcot Center in their summer concert series. When they were in Tampa, Hogue said they rented a house in Clearwater. It is a beautiful area and we know exactly where Belleair is, he said. Hogue is reluctant to say exactly how old he and the other band members are, but he said they fit the bill. I dont want to deal too much with that, he said. Were older gentlemen, from the late s to s; were not young boys. It is unusual to have tribute bands around when the original group is still playing. The original Eagles are alive and well and are constantly on tour. Back in the mid-1970s the Eagles were considered Americas biggest band with hits such as Hotel California, New Kid in Town and One of These Nights. They have sold 150 million records worldwide. They disbanded in 1980 but regrouped in 1994 and have been performing ever since. Hogue said there is no way his group can compete with the Eagles and they dont want to. I would say were a complement to the Eagles, not competition, he said. There can be no competitors for the original, until they retire, but even then I dont think there will be competition. In addition to Hogue the band members are George Eickinson, Steve Probst, Dan Hill and Scott Fronsoe. Hogue said they are not ready to retire yet and plan to continue the play of Eagles music for a while yet. Were going to go as long as our bodies and health allow us, he said. It is kind of one of those things you cant let go of, we have the tiger by the tail. There is too much demand and our reputation is good; there are other Eagles tributes bands around but nothing that can compare with what we do.Hotel California, the group that will be in a tribute concert for the Eagles on Sunday in Belleair.We want to maintain the small town feel of the concerts, make it easy to navigate.Sara Borger concert organizer Belleair Tampa Bay Newspapers: All rights reserved www.tbnweekly.com
